Throughout the late 400’s-300 B.C. Socrates was an Athenian from humble beginnings. He developed his philosophy from those that came before him known today as “Pre-Socratic Philosophers”. However, these ideas, which he shared with his fellow citizens, got him the attention of higher power in the democrat state. He battle hard for his life but to no avail the jury saw he was still guilty for “corrupting the youth” and “disproving of the Gods.” His beliefs were seen as radical and therefore the majority

Socrates and Aristotle would think that philosophy was for the greater good and expanding the minds of those around them. Socrates in particular would regard philosophy as conversational and weeding out those who ‘know’ and those who do not.

These great thinkers believed absolute contemplation was the greatest pleasure human beings could reach, so for them philosophy was reaching a type of Nirvana. Take the Apology

Integrity vs. Pain In his final moments, Socrates continues to illustrate his views on true life to his distraught friends. He stands by these views as he refuses to escape his own death because his belief is that death cannot harm him; only loss of integrity can. This choice, however, causes strife for the people in Socrates’s life because in the absence of him, they are, in their own eyes, worse off. However, this is not harm to the self as Socrates views it, therefore, by his death, harm has not

In Plato’s Meno, there are many arguments Socrates and Meno encounter. They never seem to find a common ground and that leads to disagreements. The disagreements seem to never become an agreement because not only does Socrates makes it so difficult to give a definition of a word that he thinks is suitable but Meno is just letting him change his mind about his definition. The argument does not just consist on if knowledge an opinion can be taught, they argue that knowledge can be the only way to find

argument that anybody freed of legal and social responsibilities (by invisibility in this case),would act unjustly and seek power. To answer this, Socrates/Plato create an ideal world (republic) where fundamental needs are met and a political system is in place with 4 main pillars in mind (wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance.)

Meno believes that virtue is different for different actions performed and it also differs in terms of the age of the individual (72a).

Socrates’ criticism of oratory and espousement of the rule of law imply a dislike for democracy, but for different reasons than Callicles’ dislike. Through these conversations, Plato suggests that democracy is actually a rule of nature with orators as the superiors.
