People know how Socrates looks like from ancient sources such as statues, paintings, and descriptions in texts from his time. These representations may not be completely accurate, but they give us an idea of his appearance based on the standards of beauty and dress from that era.

Did the socrates drink poisen ivy?

Socrates was executed by drinking hemlock, it is generally believed. I do not know if poison ivy can kill people. What I do know, though, is that European people tend to be almost immune to the effect that poison ivy has on American people (like a rash). I am a European and have tried it.


What was Socrates notion of wisdom?

It is difficult to say. Socrates is credited with saying, "Know thyself." He believed that knowledge is gained by means of questions, (like the people who write to WikiAnswers). He also believed that everything should be examined and questioned. * Benjamin Franklin wrote: Imitate Christ and Socrates. Christ once wrote something in the sand but brushed it away before anyone could read it. Socrates never wrote anything, and all of his teachings were oral. The students of Socrates, Plato among them, did the writing like the disciples of Christ. * In the opinion of this contributor, Socrates' notion of wisdom was to avoid being locked into ideas which never change and are never questioned.


What was socrates life like?

Socrates lived in ancient Greece around the 5th century BCE. He was known for his philosophical teachings and his Socratic method of questioning. Socrates did not write any of his ideas down, so most of what we know about him comes from the writings of his students, like Plato. He was sentenced to death by drinking poison hemlock for questioning the beliefs and values of Athenian society.


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 :)


Why was Socrates considered a 'gadfly'?

Plato described Socrates as the "gadfly" of the state because just like the gadfly stung horses into action, Socrates had "stung" various Athenians into unrest. In the end, he was sentenced to death for his controversial provocations.
