I hope this is helpful, Bill Crawley, Reference Librarian, Illinois Central College, from History Study Center... 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.
