When you do not know, you say nothing. When you do know, sometimes, you do say something useful. Sorry, this is not the philosophy of Socrates. The philosophy of Socrates is called dialectism. Not the one that you know from Hegel. Dialectism has nothing to do with Thesis, antithesis and synthesis. Dialectism has to do with human conversation, ideas, thoughts for the search of truth. As Nietsche has said: In the world of matter there are theses, antitheses, and syntheses. In the world of ideas, there are only differances. In other words, bodies, matter, can be put somewhere (thesed in Greek). They can be mixed (synthesied in Greek). They can be put one in front of the other one (antithesed in Greek). The ideas can only be expressed, critisided, and differant from each other. This makes Hegel a matterialist. Socrates and his pupil Plato are and will be for thousands of years idealists.

Nothing.
