Socrates

Socrates Socrates has been called the greatest philosopher of all time. He was born in 470 B.C. and is one of the most intriguing philosophers of all time. Intriguing, but also confusing and misunderstood. Many later philosophers would claim that Socrates was their inspiration. To many religions, he was a man of God. Socrates always said he was devoted to his country, but was killed in 399 B.C. as a traitor. Socrates' life reflected everything that he taught. He was what is known as an integrated person. An integrated person knows what they want and why. They have a good idea of who they are and what is important to them. But does anybody really know who they are' And how can one ever be sure if they found out' How would you know' These are questions too complex for our minds. This was a lot of the problem Socrates struggled with. Who he was and how should he live. From that we have his motto "know thyself", something the whole world is striving to do and has been for centuries. Another of Socrates' teachings was that basically beauty was socrates, good, really, one, about, people, believed, something, evil, even, always, think, person, method, life, knowledge, know, wiser, wise, socratic, said, questions, others, knowingly, found, called, beliefs, answer, while, way, true, sometimes, someone, sense, own
