Why did Plato like socrates?
Plato thought Socrates was the most just person of that time and Plato agreed with socrates' beliefs
What did Plato do to spread Socrates Beliefs?
Plato expressed his ideas in numerous 'dialogues'. In his earliest dialogues Plato develops the ideas of Socrates through portrayals of Socrates' discussions with his contemporaries that proceed by questions and answers. Socrates is represented as asking a question and then analyzing the respondent's answer to generate more and better answers. Over time Plato gradually introduced his own, more developed, ideas in place of those of Socrates, though he still used Socrates as the speaker of these ideas. This created the problem of not knowing where Socrates leaves off and Plato's own ideas begin; the Socratic Problem.
How did Plato get his good idea?
Socrates taught him
How did the death of Socrates effect Plato?
it made him question democracy
In Plato's apology why does Socrates think so many people hate him?
The people hated Socrates because the core basis of his philosophy was "wisest is he who knows he does not know." Socrates literally traveled around and told people that they were ignorant and didn't properly understand what they thought they understood, and he called all beliefs into question. Socrates thought true wisdom stemmed from self knowledge, and the realization that we can't know everything. For obvious reasons, the public only saw Socrates as, to be blunt, an a** because it seemed like all he did was tear down other people's beliefs. Hope that helped!! I think Socrates is awesome :)
