Excerpt from The Dæmon of Socrates: A Paper Read Before the Royal Institution, Jan, 26, 1872
AT the outset I must plead guilty to a misnomer, for which, however, I am not responsible. It has become a tradition to speak of the Daemon of Socrates; but I hope to show that the term is without warrant and incorrect.

The Dæmon of Socrates has been treated so often, and by so many authors, historians, philosophers, and critics, both in classical and Christian times, that I, at least, cannot hope to say anything new upon it. I may, however, review the judgments of others, and then offer what seems to me to be the true interpretation of this singular fact in the history of philosophy.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the enigmatic inner voice of the renowned Greek philosopher Socrates, widely known as his "Daemonion." Through an exploration of ancient writings and modern interpretations, the author presents a comprehensive analysis of the nature and significance of this divine guidance.

By examining accounts from Plato and Xenophon, the book sheds light on Socrates' belief in a unique divine assistance that guided his actions and thoughts. The author explores the psychological underpinnings of the Daemonion, proposing that it represented Socrates' highly developed intellect and moral compass. The book suggests that Socrates' experience is relatable to modern readers, emphasizing the importance of discerning right from wrong and acting with integrity. Ultimately, this book demonstrates the enduring relevance of Socrates' teachings, reminding readers of the power of reason, self-examination, and the pursuit of a virtuous life.
