This legend conceals an enigma: How could a sage who was pious and good be so closely associated with the treasonous Alcibiades, who betrayed Athens in the Peloponnesian war? How could Critias and Charmides, who launched a reign of terror in Athens after her defeat, have been among his students and closest associates? The book makes the case for the prosecution, denouncing the religion of Socrates for inciting a radical politics of absolutism and monism that continues to plague Western civilization. It is time to recognize that Socrates was no liberator of the mind, but quite the contrary-he was the architect of a frightful authoritarianism, which continues to manifest itself, not only in Islamic terror, but also in liberal foreign policy. Defending Homer and the tragic poets, the book concludes that the West has imbibed from the wrong Greeks. 001358419 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001358419 60000 $$aSocrates$$xReligion. 001358419 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001358419 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDrury, Shadia B.$$tBleak Political Implications of Socratic Religion.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing, ©2017$$z9783319544410 001358419 852__ $$bebk 001358419 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-54442-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001358419 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1358419$$pGLOBAL_SET 001358419 980__ $$aBIB 001358419 980__ $$aEBOOK 001358419 982__ $$aEbook 001358419 983__ $$aOnline 001358419 994__ $$a92$$bISE
