Brief biography
Brief biography of Socrates, a good introduction into his life and thought process. Pretty short though, but enough to decide whether the listener wants to dive deeper

Outdated drivel
Honestly never thought I would say this, however, in listening to this audiobook many things became clear to me. Peter Kingsley, with his understanding of Empedocles and Parmenodes, has brought us back closer to Reality than we have ever been since Aristotle. Here the author mistakenly teaches that Dialectic was a precursor to Logic, however, Parmenodes was the Father of Logic and was an old man when Socrates was still quite a young lad. Only valueing a left brained wakeful state, as our current post-modern Western society does, is a by-product of the subject-object paradigm that Aristotle invented. It's caused us to use so-called philosophy to study the external world, and no longer ourselves and wisdom, as it was originally designed to do. We therefore needed a modern day scientific minded and yet also a Mystical and Gnostic man, like C. G. Jung, to turn our awareness back to the unconscious realm and be participants in our enlightenment or reintegration, as opposed to simply passengers. Strange how the author says that it took Christianity to get rid of the homosexuality of the Greeks, when one considers how many Roman Catholic priests have abused altarboys over the years. The author also seems to struggle with the concepts of life and death, and tries to place a Christian overlay on the beliefs of Ancient Athenians (who were actually believers of Reincarnation) and his lack of knowledge regarding what came to be called, among other things, Hermetism, is why he can't figure out the sacrifice of a rooster, the trances that Socrates experienced, his connection to his Daemon, and the saying that goes something like, he who dies before he dies won't experience death when his Pneuma / Nous / Psyche leaves his mortal physical body. Socrates was ready, and instead of trying to avoid the inevitable, and establish a legacy, it behooves us to also prepare for the short journey of coming back again, until we each get over our ego and meld back into To Hen (The One, single neuter). Cheers.

90 mins of dismissing Socrates.
The unexamined is not worth listening.
You As such, continue looking elsewhere. Nothing to be discovered here.
