The ideas of Socrates were primarily preserved by his student Plato in his dialogues, where Socratic philosophy is explored through conversations and debates. Another important figure in preserving Socratic thought is Xenophon, who wrote several works, including "Memorabilia," that recount Socrates' teachings and character. Together, these writings form the basis of our understanding of Socratic philosophy.

Why is sorates considered such a grea philospher?

Socrates is considered a great philosopher primarily for his contributions to the development of Western philosophy and ethical thought. His method of inquiry, known as the Socratic method, involves asking probing questions to stimulate critical thinking and illuminate ideas, which laid the groundwork for dialogue and debate. Unlike many philosophers of his time, Socrates focused on moral philosophy and the pursuit of virtue, emphasizing the importance of self-knowledge and the examined life. His ideas, preserved through the writings of his students, particularly Plato, continue to influence philosophical discourse today.

Who helped the poor and need and ran schools and collected ancient Greek and Roman writings?

It was Charlemagne. He did not collect Roman writings. He commissioned monks to transcribe them. As a result copied manuscripts of Roman writings were scattered around the monasteries of much of western Europe. He did not do so with Greek writings. Knowledge of Greek had been lost, so the monks could not transcribe them. Greek writings were preserved in Greece.
