Η φιλοσοφία του Σωκράτους κατά A. Fouillée

This scholarly work dives into the early reception of Socrates, positioning him as the pivotal figure who steered Greek thought away from the sophists and toward a deeper moral inquiry. Building on an earlier study of Plato, the author showcases why his analysis earned recognition from the Paris Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, underscoring its academic weight.

The text carefully unpacks Socrates’ method of gentle, logical questioning, contrasting it with the public rhetoric of his contemporaries and highlighting his role as a moral guide rather than a metaphysical system‑builder. By weaving together fragmentary ancient testimonies, the author argues that Socrates’ teachings form the hidden foundation of the later metaphysical schools of Plato and Aristotle.

Listeners will find a clear, evidence‑based exploration that respects the complexity of the source material while remaining approachable. Endnotes provide the necessary scholarly depth, making the study a valuable companion for anyone interested in the roots of Western philosophy.
