  1. Ayush Rai

    A great introduction to Socrates. Xenophon’s writing is clear, but sometimes feels a bit repetitive. Still, a worthwhile read!

  2. Priya

    I enjoyed the book. It really let me understand a new perspective on Socrates and Greek thinking. It was little hard to read though.

  3. Akshay Jain

    This book is awesome. Great introduction to philosophy. Some parts were a little dense, but overall, highly recommended!

  4. Poorva Agarwal

    I struggled with the language and sentence structure. It was a bit confusing. Still, an important historical document for philosophical study.

  5. Vishal

    Xenophon’s portrayal of Socrates is fascinating. The book showed a unique man in ancient Greece. I have mixed feelings, sometimes boring but informative.

  6. Rishabh Nayak

    An interesting glimpse into Socrates’ world. Some of the arguments felt a bit dated, but the core principles still resonate. Solid translation.

  7. Vishakha

    Good collection of Xenophon’s writings. The editing and footnotes helped a lot. I did not find it as engaging as Plato’s dialogues, though.

  8. Adarsh

    Found the ‘Memoirs’ particularly insightful. It gave a grounded perspective on his teachings. Not always easy to follow, but rewarding.

  9. Aditya Gujrawat

    Essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy. Xenophon offers a practical view of Socrates, which is great. Little dry at times.
