Many of us struggle with these questions today as well. Socrates is indeed very relevant in these times. Personally, I feel nice about Socrates for another reason- he is my namesake!
I'M STILL CURIOUS, AT MY ALMOST 82 YEARS OF AGE, WHAT TRUE VALUES ARE WE PRACTIC8NG IN OUR WESTERN CIVILIZATION! I REALLY CANT FIND ANY! I SEE ONLY ANTHROPOCENTISM EVERYWHERE! A PHILOSOPHY WHICH IS DESTROYING THE EARTH WHERE WE ALL HUMANS LIVE IN!
You'd be best not to capitalise your comments. It looks like you're shouting. Its taken for rudeness, It detracts from your message and at 82 years of age you should have better manners
thank you for putting Dr Hughes to the task of talking about her favourite philosopher. and then for having the temerity and good sense, to put it up on the tube'y'all. i went on a little side journey with the mention of the naming of aristocratic children, Demokritos. (meaning rule of the people) i may be wrong (and please correct me), but i took Demosthenes and broke it down, and came to the conclusion that the name means people immortal, in the collective sense, the people (demos) are immortal (thenes). an interesting sentiment, don't you think?
She does seem to be a jewel. I can definitely listen to her speak on my favorite subjects for hours at a time. I save my hopeless love for my wife, but I understand your sentiment.
'The unexamined life is not worth living'? But we can never know! Because to decide if it's worth living, we have to examine it! At which point it's no longer unexamined ...
This is why I love the internet! Free lectures from great academics on fascinating subjects! Thank you, Bettany!
Always a pleasure listening to your lectures
Thank you for such a great talk 🙏🏻
5:15 Socrates ...
beyond unusual manner of death
Always inspiring!!! Well done Bettany!!!
I really enjoyed this lecture and I learnt a lot. Thank you very much for sharing.

Why is it you believe Socrates existed?
Thank you Dr. Hughes!! what a superb telling of history!!
Excellent presentation, well done Bettany!
All history has ever a great woman behind, she is called Bethany Hughes! greetings from Brazil!
"Look for the good in yourself and find it in others." What a world that would be!
Thank you ma'am, do one on Pericles ❤
Couldn't you just listen to Professor Hughes talk about anything? I have always thoroughly enjoyed all her TV programmes and lectures.
Thanks!
You are great scholar 👩🏫 thank you Bethany
Bethany “la profe”
is fascinating. She is my ASMR actor.

Loved it!
Socrates was, and remains, a troubling enigma: to tear down tradition without being bold enough to build something new is a dangerous half-effort.
Thank you Bettany

Most excellent! Thank you
THANK YOU! 🙏
Really amazing
OBE! Grats Prof!
Can Bettany talk to us about Alcibiades as well? and Aspasia!
Love it all
Thank you : )
That was great.
This is an episode of "Genius of the Ancient World".
Socrates, still a world leader on what it takes to be truly civilised.
I'm hopelessly in love with this woman.
Why?
@@jonhohensee3258 for two reasons

Dude, please...
What an ending!

Why has BC been supplanted by BCE, whence has it come and what is the point?
Because the West is ashamed of its Christian heritage...
Nice
You educate me x
No mention of the Spartian defeat, the 30 tyrants and the overall political mood and zeitgeist at the time of Socrates’ trial
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yaaaay !
It's the same then as its the same now
Yes a tour de force
❣💯
Spiffing! 🤔(Green Fire, UK ) 🌈🦉
I wonder if Socrates would say Plato was a liar and a meaningless gossip.
haha
🖖🖖
Sokrates fought in the wars. Post traumatic stress .?
So he was an Athenian boomer.
OF COURSE SOCRATES IS RELEVANT TODAY...THE WOMAN NEEDS TO PAY HER BILLS...!
Socrates Schmocrates. Just another layabout troublemaker giving kids wild ideas. Let's face it, he probably had it coming.
I clicked on this to here her speak not you old man. Lol. Get out of the way.
hear
What a beautiful lady... smart and highly attractive. Lucky husband...
