Peter Kreeft’s Socratic Dialogues (7 vols.)
Overview
In these seven innovative volumes, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of giving breath to philosophy through dialogue. Kreeft imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. He first gives an initiation to philosophy and introduces the dialogue form through Plato’s Apology in Philosophy 101. In the next six volumes, Kreeft looses his reincarnation of the gadfly against some of the most important figures in modern thought, including René Descartes, Immanuel Kant, and David Hume.
Your lesson in asking questions is enhanced as Logos easily connects Kreeft’s books with the primary sources. You can jump from these exciting introductions straight into classics like Discourse on Method, the Critique of Pure Reason, and Plato’s dialogues.
