About the Book



Who was Socrates? He was solemn, and didn't write books or lead armies-he led revolutions of thought. He questioned everything: politics, religion, even the meaning of life. His only weapon? A question that sliced deeper than any sword.



Book Synopsis



SOCRATES: MAN, MYTH, TEACHER

Book 2 of the Be a Great Thinker Series

They said he corrupted the youth. He said they feared the truth.

In the heart of ancient Athens, a barefoot man with a sharp tongue and a sharper mind stood against the world. Socrates didn't write books or lead armies-he led revolutions of thought. He questioned everything: politics, religion, even the meaning of life. His only weapon? A question that sliced deeper than any sword.

While others feared looking foolish, Socrates demanded clarity. His enemies wanted silence. His students, like Plato, wanted the world to hear his voice forever. And he made sure they did.

This is not just history. It's a wake-up call. Because Socrates wasn't teaching facts, he was teaching courage. The kind it takes to challenge assumptions, outsmart authority, and think for yourself.

In this book, readers will learn:

  • The six steps of the Socratic Method and how to use them to win any argument
  • Why asking questions can be more powerful than giving answers
  • How to use philosophy to navigate peer pressure, politics, and tough decisions
Adrienne Roth is a writer and educator dedicated to making philosophy and critical thinking engaging for young readers. She believes that understanding great thinkers-and loving great books-can help shape curious minds and create a more thoughtful world.

This is Book 2 in the Be a Great Thinker Series from Adrienne Roth.
