What Socrates's greatest failure says about a 2,000-year-old
question: is it possible to teach ourselves and others to become
better people? Can we make ourselves into better human beings? Can
we help others do the same? Can we get our leaders to care that
humanity prospers, not just economically, but also spiritually?
These questions have been asked for over two millennia and
attempting to answer them is crucial if we want to build a more
just society. How to Be Good uses the story of Socrates and
Alcibiades and examples from Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius and
Machiavelli, alongside modern interpretations to explore what
philosophy can teach us about the quest for virtue today. With a
little work, day by day, we all have the power to pursue the timely
and timeless art of living well.
