Casi 2500 años después, la figura de Sócrates sigue suscitando interpretaciones encontradas. Considerado el padre de la filosofía occidental, se le recuerda por su humildad intelectual, su disposición al dialogo y su tragico final. Sin embargo, el caracter verdaderamente radical de su pensamiento ha sido, en muchos casos, domesticado o malinterpretado.En Socrates al descubierto, Agnes Callard renombrada filosofa y profesora de la Universidad de Chicago recupera con brillantez el nucleo subversivo de la practica socratica. Frente a la imagen de un Socrates ironico o meramente retorico, Callard propone una lectura en la que el metodo socratico emerge como una herramienta de transformacion personal y colectiva, orientada a la formulacion rigurosa de las preguntas fundamentales de la existencia.Este libro argumenta que el pensamiento filosofico no es exclusivo de especialistas, sino una posibilidad abierta a cualquiera dispuesto a interrogar su vida con honestidad. A traves de temas como el amor, la muerte o la accion politica, Callard demuestra que el legado de Socrates no pertenece solo a la historia del pensamiento, sino tambien al presente como una forma exigente y necesaria de vivir.

EL RELATO DE UNO DE LOS GRANDES ESCÁNDALOS FILOSÓFICOS DE LA HISTORIA El juicio y la muerte de Sócrates constituyen un momento emblemático de la civilización occidental. La imagen que tenemos de aquellos acontecimientos (creada por sus seguidores inmediatos y perpetuada a partir de entonces por un sinnumero de obras de literatura y arte) es la de un hombre noble condenado a muerte por un acceso de locura de la antigua democracia ateniense. Sin embargo, la acusacion se centraba en la impiedad y la corrupcion de la juventud, y tambien se sugeria que Socrates era un elitista que se rodeaba de personajes politicamente indeseables, lo cual tenia cierto fundamento desde un punto de vista ateniense. Con notable pulso narrativo, Robin Waterfield expone todos los elementos que rodearon a uno de los juicios mas famosos de la historia y nos ofrece una nueva perspectiva desde la cual puede explorarse toda una epoca.

Platón nos ofrece en su Gorgias un diálogo de una indiscutible actualidad centrado en analizar la naturaleza de la retórica y la justicia. ¿Se puede ser feliz y ser injusto al mismo tiempo? ¿Puede un politico tomar decisiones que no se ajusten a la moral y ser realmente poderoso? Platon, por boca de Socrates, defiende con una pasion inusitada sus puntos de vista en un dialogo con una estructura mas compleja de lo habitual y perfectamente trabada. La sucesion de tres discusiones consecutivas y de creciente intensidad que mantiene Socrates con el retorico Gorgias, con su discipulo Polo y con Calicles, permiten al filosofo atico plantear profundas reflexiones sobre la verdadera finalidad de la retorica, sobre la justicia moral y sobre el ejercicio del poder por parte de los politicos.Es un dialogo que se puede seguir de principio a fin sin una preparacion filosofica previa. Las conclusiones precipitadas o las faltas de logica que el lector puede encontrar, que requeririan mayor explicacion, no entorpecen la secuencia de las ideas y tienen el contrapeso literario del apasionamiento en la exposicion. En estos datos podemos resumir la modernidad del Gorgias . JULIO CALONGE

Sócrates no solo fue uno de los filósofos más conocidos e influyentes de la historia de la humanidad, sino también el primer mártir de sus ideas. El proceso judicial que lo condenó expone cómo la democracia mas grande de la epoca podia empujar a la muerte a sus mejores ciudadanos.Atenas, 399 a.C. En el que podria considerarse el primer juicio por crimenes de opinion, Socrates es condenado a muerte. Acusado de corromper a la juventud y negar a los dioses de la ciudad, el filosofo despliega una defensa intransigente y provocativa. No obstante, una mayoria de jurados lo insta a ir a prision y beber la cicuta. Una vez prisionero, mientras espera su ejecucion rodeado de sus amigos y discipulos, se niega a escapar para no violar las leyes a las que siempre ha sido devoto.
