I am not a philosophy major, just a curious reader wants to learn more about Greek philosophy and Socrates, Plato, Aristotle. T The author wrote the book almost like creating a research paper. It is unreadable if you are not aware of the quite a few references he made, and books he mentioned you are lost. This is not a short introduction but a summary of references about Socrates. This book is definitely not for a regular person who is curious to learn more about Socrates. Really disappointed.
