How to Think Like Socrates by Donald Robertson is a book that introduces the reader to ancient philosophy and the Socratic approach as a practical tool for critical thinking in today's world. In this book, Robertson, using historical stories and psychological training, tries to open a new window on modern life and show how Socrates' methods of questioning and introspection can lead to intellectual growth and emotional dynamism. At the beginning of the book, Robertson gives a brief history of Socrates' life and outlines the political, social, and cultural conditions of his time in ancient Athens. He explains that Socrates became an unparalleled thinker by raising fundamental questions about life, morality, and the meaning of existence. Through fascinating stories and concrete examples, the author introduces us to Athenian society and depicts the context in which Socrates' methods of questioning were formed. This introduction not only gives the reader a deeper understanding of the challenges of Socrates’ time, but also clarifies the importance of constructive skepticism in the path to achieving knowledge and wisdom.
