Quotes by Peter Adamson (?)

“Whereas Socrates would walk up to people in the marketplace and harass them by asking them to define virtue, Pythagoras and his young students in Croton supposedly observed a code of silence, to prevent their secret teachings from being divulged to the uninitiated.”
― Peter Adamson, Classical Philosophy

“Xenophon’s Socrates appeals to the political interests of his audience in making this point: he says that choosing an ignorant man to be the leader of a city would be like choosing an ignorant man as one’s doctor. We don’t let untrained men experiment on our bodies, and neither should we let men without knowledge experiment on the body politic.”
― Peter Adamson, Classical Philosophy

“An amusing anti-astrological argument was offered by the early Academic skeptic Carneades: if time of birth determined one’s fate, then everyone who dies in a huge battle must have been born at the same time.”
― Peter Adamson, Philosophy in the Hellenistic and Roman Worlds

Hi Peter - just so you know, it looks like Goodreads is confusing you with another Peter Adamson, so it's attributing 2 or 3 extra books to you on your Author Page.
