One of Socratesmost enduring concepts, the importance of self-knowing and self-perfection (know thyself), has been echoed throughout Western literature and has many reverberations within Eastern thought. William Bodri shows that Socrates had attained a spiritual stage called samadhi, satisfying the requirements specified in Buddhist systems of one who had attained enlightenment. Bodri points to the comparisons and contrasts between East and West, illuminating both Buddhist and Socratic thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing Socrates as an example, Bodri calls for the broadening of our Western ideas of learning to encompass spiritual knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Bodri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1578631912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781578631919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Weiser Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.68d","brand":"William Bodri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939744055551,"sku":"9781578631919","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_146cc340-5f0e-409a-bc10-89ec19a1bd0e.jpg?v=1681443241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/socrates-and-the-enlightenment-path-william-bodri-9781578631919","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
