Did Socrates leave behind behind his own written works?

Socrates did not leave behind any written works. All that we know of him (his life, his philosophy) is based on the writings of his students and contemporaries: most notably, Plato's dialogues. However, scholars haven't always agreed that these dialogues reveal an accurate portrayal of Socrates; hence, the "Socratic Problem" emerges.


Did Socrates leave any writings?

No, Socrates did not leave any writings. Basically, Socrates practiced philosophy by talking one-on-one with people; instead of trying to make them agree with what he thought, he tried to get them to think seriously for themselves. People seriously concerned to encourage people to think for themselves probably should not write a book.Why?Well, unthinking people may just attach themselves fanatically to the ideas presented in the book. This may have been why, for example, the Buddha, too, never wrote a book.
