Review
Rating: 5
An extremely interesting read but not quite what I was expecting.
Their thought process as it is documented gives an insight of how the dervied many of their theories.
I still liked it but I thought that it might have been a little beyond my reach. In terms of the concepts that they discussed I feel that I probably should have read a study guide before hand or have a bit more knowledge about the philosophical ideas that they discuss.
That and some of the greek names got me a bit confused, sometimes it is a little bit hard to believe that Plato got every bit of conversation correct if he was the only person telling the tale, but who am I to judge.
Overall an insightfull book but not something for the beginner.
