Socrates at Verse and Other Philosophical Poems

Exploring the intersection of poetry and philosophy, this collection reflects on how verse can engage with philosophical inquiry, inspired by Socrates' late-life turn to poetry. Christopher Norris employs various poetic forms to delve into the ideas of notable philosophers like Berkeley, Hume, and Nietzsche, while also addressing broader themes such as time, mathematical truths, quantum mechanics, and moral judgment. The poems also tackle universal questions about love, memory, identity, and social roles, making complex philosophical concepts accessible through verse.
