Description
There are several parallels between Socrates’ time and ours. He faced a crisis in morality in Athens, the same as we face in our country today. In the political arena, he confronted the politicians because they had no regard for morality. He faced the assault on truth from his society. Today, with all the social media and talk shows, can we tell true from false? The religious establishment challenged Socrates’ views on what to teach. Are we not facing the same?
