About
What are the best things in life? Questions like that boggle our minds. But they don't boggle Socrates. What would happen if the indomitable old Greek suddenly awoke and brought his undending questions to the campus of Desperate State University? Peter Kreeft imagines that with him would come the same mind-opening and spirit-stretching challenges that disrupted ancient Athens. What is the purpose of education? Why do we make love? What good is money? Can computers think like people? Is there a difference between capitalism and communism? What is the greatest good? Is belief in God like belief in Santa Claus? In twelve short Socratic dialogs Peter Kreeft explodes contemporary values like success, power and pleasure. And he bursts the modern bubbles of angosticism and subjectivism. He leaves us richer, wiser and more able to discern what the best things in life actually are. - Back cover.
