Ancient Greek philosophers were known to question everything, from the nature of reality and the existence of gods, to ethics and politics. They raised concerns about the reliability of sense perception, the possibility of knowledge, and the nature of the good life. They also critiqued societal norms, such as the role of democracy and the pursuit of wealth.
Socrates was an ancient Greek philosopher known for his contributions to the field of ethics and his method of questioning to stimulate critical thinking and self-examination. He raised questions about justice, virtue, the nature of knowledge, and the importance of self-reflection. Socrates' thought and methods laid the foundation for Western philosophy.
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.
Reason plays a crucial role in philosophizing as it involves logical thinking, analysis, and rational arguments to explore and understand fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, morality, and reality. It helps philosophers critically evaluate arguments, form conclusions based on evidence, and construct coherent and systematic theories about the world. Ultimately, reason allows for the practice of philosophy to be methodical, rigorous, and open to intellectual inquiry and debate.
