Не Was A Philosopher

1. Socrates was a great philosopher. He lived in Athens in 399 B.C. He talked to anyone who listened to him, in the streets and market places. He was discussing philosophy with students, sailors or tradesmen. Socrates was questioning men about what they believed in and why. He always wanted to know how they could prove it. He met every answer with a new question and each answer after that with another question.

2. Some Athenians called him a dangerous idler who did nothing. The Oracle of Delphi called him the wisest man alive. But Socrates, with a cool skepticism, considered that his wisdom lay only in the fact that unlike other men, he knew how great his ignorance was.

3. He refused to accept a penny for teaching. The philosopher was sure he could never teach anyone anything. He simply tried to teach people how to think.

4. His enemies hated him. They believed he made young minds doubt and mock everything and it was undermining respect for democracy itself.

5. He was brought to the court and they voted him guilty. The prosecutor demanded the death penalty. Under the law of Athens it was now for the defendant to propose an alternative. Did Socrates defend himself? "I shall not change my conduct even if I must die hundred deaths".

6. His friends wanted to liberate him out of prison but Socrates refused to escape. He spent his last hours discussing the problem of good and evil. His mind was never idle. The man is gone, but the "Socratic" method of questioning and teaching has always been respected since then.
