What did Socrates think of self-interest and virtue?
Socrates and "care of the self"Young Socrates also knew the Sophists and listened to their debates and ceremonial orations. Socrates and the Sophists neither science nor Sophistry, however, could answer a new philosophic question that struck him.The earlier Greek thinkers had been concerned almost wholly with physics and cosmology until the Sophists suggested that what should be done instead was to teach young men skills to satisfy their natural self-interest.Instead, Socrates wondered: "What is a 'self'?" Although "Know Thyself!" was one of three sayings carved on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, the directive proved difficult to carry out. The so-called scientific views of the time particularly that of atomism, defined the self as a physical organ that responded to environmental pressure. Socrates felt, however, that the Sophists, for all their talk of self-interest, had little curiosity about the status of a self; they assumed that it was merely an isolated centre constantly greedy for more pleasure, prestige, and power.The Sophists further thought that the values that people advocated were all conventional, varying from one culture to another, and that no one would ever act against his or her own interest, regardless of how many people talked as though they would. This complex of ideas offered little to explain human nature and excellence. Socrates' Later Life and Thought Socrates, setting about his search for the self, was convinced of the importance of his quest. Until educators and teachers knew what human excellence was, he thought, they were engaging in false pretences by claiming that they knew how to improve students or societies. Socrates believed that objective patterns, or "forms," exist that define human excellence, that these are neither culturally relative nor subjective, and that philosophic inquiry could discover them. In the period after Athenian defeat in the Peloponnesian War, however, the political leaders did not want to be awakened; uncritical patriotism seemed to them what they and Athens needed. In an attempt to frighten Socrates away, they threatened to bring him to trial for "impiety and corrupting the youth of Athens." Socrates stayed and stood trial. In his Apology, Plato reconstructs his speech to the jury in defence of his beliefs. He was convicted and executed in 399 BC.
What is the importance of studying philosophy?
Answer # 1 Very interesting question. First you must understand what the word philosophy means. Its from two Greek words philos and sophos. Philos means great affinity or love for and sophos means knowledge, wisdom, truth, Some actually indicate enlightenment.The second thing to understand is that Athena is the goddess over all knowledge or wisdom as the Greeks believed. The city of Athens is named for the goddess AthenaThe doctrine known as Philosophy or Philos-Sophos was developed in Athens, and developed in honor and reverence to its patron goddess Athena. Philos-Sophos is actually the testament to mans discoveries of knowledge using specific methods to determine what man considers to be the truth, the most notable of these methodologies is the dialectic. According to philos-sophos doctrine truth is derived by men via specific methodology as a testament to Athena and not proclaimed at the mouth of prophets as stated in Biblical texts.Its important to study philosophy, simply to understand is historical significance as the doctrine which is the Basis for the ideas and proclamation of its self made prophets. Men such as Aristotle, Plato, Zeno, Socrates, Darwin, Hegel, Hegel's Students (Bauer brothers, Sterner, Feuerbach, Marx & Engels) Mau, Adolph Hitler, Linen, Stalin, Edward Bellamy, George B Shaw, Saul Alinsky ... all of which made their various proclamations based upon the doctrine of philosophy and its dialectic method.Its important to understand that all the systems which are known as Communism, Socialism, Progressivism, and Liberation Theology are based upon that doctrine known as Greek philos-sophos doctrine and its method known as the dialectic.For bible students, its important to understand that the apostle Paul warned Christians against following this specific doctrine. Paul engaged those who believed in Philos-Sophos doctrine while he was visiting Athens. The account is written in the 17th chapter of the book of acts. Later Paul would engage the sophists (teachers of philosophy) in various areas where he traveled. The Sophists were the accepted educators of the day and were held in high regard and high esteem among the Greeks, and Romans. Sophists had already taken to twisting the teachings of the apostles by applying philos-sophos doctrine to the teachings of the apostles. The established paradigm of education was not about to give up their age old tradition and profession to a few Hebrews who were teaching the word of our Father.Paul warned Christians about these sophists and their teaching of philosophy and mixing it with Hebrew doctrine. In the book of Colossians, Chapter two, Paul warns that the doctrine of philosophy will deceive Christians if they allow it to mix with Hebrew doctrine. The word in the KJV bible used by Paul to warn Christians are to the dangers of philos-sophos doctrine is spoiled, the actual Greek word used is 4812 - pronounced soo-lag-ogue-eh-o, and it means to be lead away as spoils of war - booty. its from Greek word 4813, which means to strip or to rob. The word philosophia is only written in two places in all the biblical text (Acts 17 and Colossians 2). Therefore the topic is specific to Paul's activities engaging those who believed in philosophia doctrine.Most people are unaware that philos-sophos doctrine is the largest doctrine in the world and that is adherents are proposing it become the only doctrine in the world. Most believers in philos-sophos doctrine think that the way to global peace is to convert the entire world over to philos-sophos doctrine. This is the reason why they created the faux Christian version known as Liberation Theology.This is why people must understand philosophy as what it is, a doctrine. Then each individual must choose what they will believe. Its your choice as an individual to select the doctrine you will believe in. Just remember that philosophy or philos-sophos is a doctrine. Don't forget that the Athenians who invented the doctrine did so as a testament to their goddess Athena.The # 1 Answer Ends
