- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- In the eighth Ramsay Lecture for 2021, world-famous historian, author and broadcaster, Professor Bettany Hughes OBE, takes us back to Golden Age Athens, as seen through the eyes of Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher and arguably the true father of western thought.
In her exclusive lecture Professor Hughes draws on her comprehensive research on Socrates, as he left no written record. Through archaeological discoveries and research into the accounts of people who lived alongside him, Bettany pieces together Socrates’ life experiences - his youth, his time as a soldier, his search for the ‘good life’ and his death, and how these all laid the foundation for his philosophy, still relevant and being taught across the world today.
Please join us on this incredible journey.
This is why I love the internet! Free lectures from great academics on fascinating subjects! Thank you, Bettany!
Always inspiring!!! Well done Bettany!!!
Always a pleasure listening to your lectures
Thank you for such a great talk 🙏🏻
5:15 Socrates ...
beyond unusual manner of death
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!
Why is it you believe Socrates existed?
Couldn't you just listen to Professor Hughes talk about anything? I have always thoroughly enjoyed all her TV programmes and lectures.
I really enjoyed this lecture and I learnt a lot. Thank you very much for sharing.
Bethany “la profe”
is fascinating. She is my ASMR actor.
All history has ever a great woman behind, she is called Bethany Hughes! greetings from Brazil!
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!
"Look for the good in yourself and find it in others." What a world that would be!
Love, love, love listening to this remarkable historian.
Thank you for bringing this lecture. I learned a lot about Socrates.
Excellent presentation, well done Bettany!
Thank you ma'am, do one on Pericles ❤
I'm hopelessly in love with this woman.

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.
Can Bettany talk to us about Alcibiades as well? and Aspasia!
You are great scholar 👩🏫 thank you Bethany
'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 ...
Thanks!
