How did philosophers challenge the authority?

Suppose a philosopher says, ignorance is devil. Then it would also mean, knowledge is god, which was enough for authorities to think that the philosopher was challenging them, for they had taught people that the Authority- King- was god. The job of the philosopher is to teach, not challenge, but examples like this can also be taken as subtle ways of challenging authorities. We know, it is ignorant and illiterate authorities who think philosophers are challenging them through their teachings. A Solomon or a Shibi or a Vikramaditya will not be challenged for they themselves were learned and wise, and philosophers themselves. That is why we come to the point raised by Plato- the concept of the inevitability of a Philosopher-King.

What do philosophers think about?

Philosophers contemplate various concepts such as ethics, reality, existence, knowledge, and the nature of the universe. They seek to understand fundamental questions about life, the mind, society, and the human experience. Philosophers analyze these topics through critical thinking, logic, and rational argumentation to provide insights into the nature of reality and human existence.


Why did Plato think that kings and philosophers should rule?

Plato believed that philosophers possessed the wisdom and knowledge needed to govern justly and effectively. He argued that rulers who were guided by reason and virtue, as philosophers are, would prioritize the well-being of the entire society over their own interests. This would lead to a harmonious and just society.
