Synopsis
Historian Bettany Hughes travels to India, Greece and China on the trail of three giants of ancient philosophy - Buddha, Socrates and Confucius.All three philosophers lived between the 6th - 5th century BC, during a period of unprecedented and intense intellectual development. They were trailblazers whose radical ideas signalled a key change in human consciousness.Drawing on archaeology and expert opinion, Bettany follows in the footsteps of these great figures in her quest to unpack their philosophy in the context of their age.She reveals how, even though their ideas came about two and half thousand years ago, their thinking still shapes and continues to provide solutions to our own lives. 2015 BBC.
