Socrates was both loved and hated in Greece. His arguments (and sass) against the so-called "wise" men of his day have become legendary, both for their historical and philosophical content.

Not only will you learn philosophic concepts to wow everyone, but you'll also learn new ideas and concepts to apply to your daily life. This course will introduce you to the ideas of Plato and Socrates through examining them crushing debate opponents and overall being sassy (like teenagers can be).
