The Greek philosopher Socrates (469-469 BC) was born in Athens, where he spent his life and died. With Plato and Aristotle, he is one of the three great figures in ancient philosophy. The 'Socratic method' was to ask for definitions of concepts like justice and courage, to elicit by cross-examination contradictions in the responses-of his interlocutors, and by demonstrating their inconsistencies to prompt them to profounder thought. It was this unpopular activity which contributed to demands for his conviction for impiety and 'corrupting youth'. At the age of seventy he was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to die by drinking hemlock.
No, Plato was not a Christian. He was a Greek philosopher who lived in the 4th century BC, long before the emergence of Christianity.
Aristotle was a Greek philosopher who lived over 2,000 years ago. He was described as having a bald head, a long beard, and a serious expression.
Socrates was in jail for approximately one month before he was executed by drinking poison hemlock.
Socrates did not found a school in the institutional sense. His discourses, debates and arguments were conducted in the market place, temple courtyard and friends' houses. But Socrates and his long line of student generations Plato, Aristotle, Alexander, Anaximander....who followed and further developed his theories are collectively called the Socratic school of thought. Plato founded an educational institution which he termed The Academy and Aristotle founded his own which he called The Lyceum.
