311 - Socrates Was Indeed a Great Thinker (Dialectic Spiritualism, 1)
from Sravanam Diaries · host Sulalita Devi Dasi
Formerly entitled Dialectic Spiritualism—this book is a compilation of conversations with Srila Prabhupada comparing the conclusions of Vedic wisdom with those of Western philosophers, such as Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, and many others. Srila Prabhupada gives each credit for their sincerity, but after all, to err is human, human life is short, and there's only so much that even the greatest philosopher can know. It's possible to know something about Ultimate Reality by intellectual endeavor, but for perfect and complete knowledge, one must approach the source. ••• find the book links here: https://sravanamdiaries.com/dialectic-spiritualism/ ••• Instagram & Facebook @sravanamdiaries
