One of the first philosophy books I've read. I was 15 years old. Socrates' story inspired me so much. Buddhism and stoicism have resurrected faith in my life and I'll be ever grateful for the words of these heroes long gone. It's true what Seneca says, that we can marry ourselves into houses of thought of great men who lived before our time. For the philosopher it's a beautiful thing to become so accustomed to the works and history of a foregone thinker that he can include their person in his own self selected pantheon of spiritual godfathers. Through them you have friends, teachers, mentors, and hopefully one day equals, whose judgement is never unjust, whose advice is always valueable, whose demeanor is always humble and who's image isn't perfect, but fallible and vulnerable. You can come to love and respect them, but never idolize them. With them in your soul you will never be truly alone or without wisdom. Philosophy isn't exclusive to one man, but it's a movement that is present untill this very day. And the torch of philosophy will be passed on untill the last free thinking man perishes and with him the love of life.

I thank thee good sir for all the content you have pursued.

You have an excellent voice for narrating books. Thanks for all your great work.

We can comprehend how the problem of ideologues has been recurrent in human existence.

Im glad you made an audiobook after my recommendation. Thanks a lot.

I feel like seneca is being judged 😂😂. Amazing job as always! The phrases on screen help a lot! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

Your voice is perfect for such readings, so glad i stumbled upon your channel.

Thank you sooooooo much for putting this on YouTube! This was very very very helpful! 😁😄

Thanks for doing these your one of the best narrators I’ve head and I listen to a lot on audible and librevox 👍🏻

Love your narration! I like this modern English version, easier to listen to and follow along. Socrates is my favourite philosopher ❤

As always, excellent reading.

Just starting to get into philosophy, this book is amazing

Thank you for this reading, Mr Homer.

This is a great read/listen in the "era of experts in everything", when software salesmen tell society how to act in a pandemic, or in their family life

Thanks for this fantastic video

Thank you Very much!

I read this when I was young getting my degree in philosophy. Now I hear it from a different point of view now that I'm old. It takes on a whole new color including what has happened since 2019 when my eyes were opened as to what's really going on. I, too, am not convinced that death is such a bad thing. It would be a release to get away from all this evil and crimes against humanity. I've tried to help, educate, give grace because I understood what has been done to people. At times I feel feckless. As though my true role was simply to be a witness. I get how Socrates was feeling.

I enjoyed alot. Thanks man

Love this show.
