This inspiring collection assembles the ideas of the great thinkers of the West as they wrestle with the hardest problem all of us face: how to flourish individually and together. The short quotes arranged chronologically give their voices poignancy and symphonic power, connecting the reader to humanity's ancient and ongoing search for goodness. Anna Alexandrova, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge
Sofron Sofroniou is a Greek academic and public intellectual from Cyprus. He pursued postgraduate studies in History, Comparative Literature and Philosophy of Science, at the University of London's Kings College, University College and the London School of Economics. One of his teachers there was the eminent philosopher and author of The Open Society and its Enemies, Sir Karl Popper.
He has worked for the Greek Service of the BBC, at the Middlesex Polytechnic-University and as an Adviser to the President of Cyprus. In this latter capacity he was a co-founder of the University of Cyprus and of the University of Nicosia, of which he is President Emeritus.
He has published a number of papers on moral and political philosophy, an abridged version of Proust's great novel In Search of Lost Time [NPG] and he has also published an Anthology of Classical Greek Poetry and an Anthology of Greek Tragedy in Ancient and Modern Greek.
