Did Plato or Socrates want to make people think and question their own beliefs?
Socrates. He was very wise and was probably testing people when he asks those confusing questions about life and such.
Was Socrates an atheist?
Too little is known about Socrates to be certain of his beliefs, but a contemporary claimed that Socrates believed in a "divine insanity" as a gift from the gods - which gave us poetry, mysticism, love and philosophy. If this truly was his belief then he would be considered a polytheist.
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 :)
What is Socrates philosophy?
he beliefs of Socrates, as distinct from those of Plato, are difficult to discern. Little in the way of concrete evidence exists to demarcate the two. The lengthy theories given in most of the dialogues are those of Plato, and some scholars think Plato so adapted the Socratic style as to make the literary character and the philosopher himself impossible to distinguish. Others argue that he did have his own theories and beliefs, but there is much controversy over what these might have been, owing to the difficulty of separating Socrates from Plato and the difficulty of interpreting even the dramatic writings concerning Socrates. Consequently, distinguishing the philosophical beliefs of Socrates from those of Plato and Xenophon is not easy and it must be remembered that what is attributed to Socrates might more closely reflect the specific concerns of these thinkers.
