I have always wondered why Socrates is more widely known than other philosophers. Thank you for answering my question. Socrates is such an inspiring character.
Your lectures are brilliant - so thoughtful, structured and well presented. I am curious if you would be interested in presenting Roman stoics as well (Seneca as an example) and the philosophy of the stoics in general.
Thank you very much for this excellent video on Socrates. Scientific materialists followers of Karl Popper, for example, argue that with Socrates mysticism and religion were introduced in Greek mentality and Socrate's and his pupil Plato's philosophy had serious negative effects on the Greek way of thinking. They argue that Pythagoras, Socrates, and Plato are mystics and they created a religion based on mathematics and reason. What do you think about it? Maybe, you can make a video about it. I am also very interested in the Egyptian influence over Pythagoras and Plato. I think they were initiated in Egyptian mysteries; and learned the importance of mathematics and geometry from Egyptian priests.

Incredibly articulate and concise lecturer. Am so appreciative just to listen to this man's lucidity.
