New Novel Blame It on Socrates Challenges Readers to Question Everything: From History to Themselves

 
NEW YORK - May 13, 2025 - PRLog -- What happens when a philosophy professor, a student protest, and a mail-stealing dog named Socrates collide? Acclaimed storyteller Jack Ryan delivers a thought-provoking, witty, and deeply reflective novel with Blame It on Socrates, a book that dares readers to examine history, question the status quo, and rethink their own beliefs.

In Blame It on Socrates, Patrick Dolan, a middle-aged philosophy professor at a small Midwestern college, has spent his life teaching students to challenge conventional wisdom. But when a broken library copier, a letter from a long-lost love, and an unexpected student uprising force him to confront his own past, he realizes that even the best philosophers can't escape the questions they'd rather not answer. With the help of Hap Williams, the campus jack-of-all-trades, and a neurotic dog named Socrates, Dolan embarks on a journey that proves some lessons are best learned outside the classroom.

More than just a campus novel, Blame It on Socrates is a call to action—a reminder that history isn't just something to be memorized, but something to be examined and challenged. As today's world wrestles with free speech, activism, and the power of ideas, Ryan's novel offers a timely reflection on the importance of questioning everything, just as the real Socrates once did.

"This book is about more than one professor's reckoning with the past," says Jack Ryan. "It's about all of us—how we inherit history, how we engage with it, and how we must constantly challenge what we think we know if we ever hope to speak meaningfully on the issues that shape our world."

Praise for Blame It on Socrates

Early readers have called Blame It on Socrates "a sharp, engaging novel that blends humor, philosophy, and history into a seamless narrative" and "a book that stays with you long after you finish the last page."
