Socrates' philosophy emphasizes self-examination, seeking wisdom, and questioning assumptions. This influence may lead to a view of man as a being capable of critical thinking, self-improvement, and moral development through introspection and dialogue. It can inspire a perspective that values intellectual curiosity, humility, and ethical integrity in understanding human nature.
In the beginning he was a poor man, but later he became famous.
socrates made the beginings of philosophy. we later made a method called the socratic method-tought by asking questions . he was a buisness man. powerfull people felt threatened by him. he was arrested for his belif in philosophy. went to trial. then sentanced to death but he had another choice. die or you can continue to be a buisness man if you tell all the people that philosophy is a load of crap.
During the time of Socrates there was no proper science except mathematics, geometry and astronomy. Even all these things were considered as included in philosophy. Philosophy was then thought, analysis and dissemination of knowledge. What happened in human mind was the other main engagement of philosophy. Socrates believed in the virtue and goodness of man which he considered cannot be subjected to tyrrannical mob democracy and which, if let free, can build a mighty and virtuous nation in the long run. This he discussed and debated with whoever he could and this constituted his philosophy. His interest in philosophy was, only through it could men be made to live free, learned and wise, made thus through skilfully plotted arguments.
Socrates (469-399 BC) through the medium of questions caused each man to express his own philosophy. he held that the soul existed before the body and became stupified when becoming corporeal. His philosophy had two purposes; to contemplate God and abstract the soul from the body.
My impression of Socrates from the Apology is that he was principled, courageous, and intellectually sharp. While he may have been viewed as eccentric by some due to his unconventional beliefs and approach to philosophy, I find him inspiring for his unwavering commitment to seeking truth and moral integrity, even in the face of death.
The founder of modern philosophy was Socrates, however the actual developement of philosophy dates back to the dawn of time as man tried to rationalize the whys of the Universe and the human condition.

It's not in the Scriptures. It's a Greek Philosophy,proposed by Plato,I think..or Aristotle or Socrates.
Epicurus founded Epicurean philosophy which taught that being happy was the best good.
Epictetus presents Socrates as the model for Stoic beliefs - using his as an ideal citizen - a family man, soldier, city councillor, and thinker, who was prepared to accept death rather than break the law - the epitome of Stoic thought.

that no man was smarter than socrates
A friend of Socrates.
Socrates (469-399 BC) through the medium of questions caused each man to express his own philosophy. he held that the soul existed before the body and became stupified when becoming corporeal. His philosophy had two purposes; to contemplate God and abstract the soul from the body.
He was a student of Socrates, credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and the teacher of Aristotle. Because Socrates was his mentor, it is believed by the uniformed that his ideas came from a Socratic way of thinking. While this is with out a doubt true, it is not the complete truth. Plato was also influenced by earlier philosophers, mainly Heraclitus, Parmenides, Zeno and the Pythagoreans(Pythagoras and his followers). As you will see, Plato had many basis that stemmed from the quintessential ideas of earlier philosophers. It quickly becomes apparent that Plato was a man who accepted many points of view and wove them all together in order to form a basis for his preachings and inevitably change philosophy forever.
The study of man and its philosophy in life is the philosophy of man. It is subdivided into several branches that include ethics.
