How Did Socrates Become So Wise?
Where did Socrates' wisdom actually come from? It was not raw intellect alone. In this conversation, Donald Robertson and I look at the daily habits, the charisma, and the genuine love of people that made Socrates the figure everyone after him kept arguing with.
Donald reaches for an unlikely comparison, Jimi Hendrix, to make a point about total immersion: what it looks like when someone gives themselves over completely to one pursuit. Less a lecture on Socrates, more a look at what made him tick.
