This edition presents a selection of formative responses to the "Problem of Mind," written in a century in which the subject has undergone more theoretical changes and, arguably, made more genuine progress, than it had during the entire two millennia that preceded it.
Set in ancient Greece, the story follows Strepsiades, burdened by his son's gambling debts. To alleviate their financial woes, he sends his son, Phiddy, to Socrates' Academy to learn persuasive skills. This serio-comic drama explores themes of morality, the challenges of education, and the complexities of teaching, drawing inspiration from Aristophanes and Plato. Through humor and wit, it examines the consequences of misguided pursuits and the quest for knowledge.
