Socrates said his ideas came from his teachers.
Plato used Socrates as his main character in his writings to convey his own philosophical views. Socrates was portrayed as a wise and questioning figure who engaged in dialogues with other characters to explore concepts and ideas. Through these dialogues, Plato expressed his beliefs on topics such as ethics, politics, and metaphysics.
Plato expressed his ideas in numerous 'dialogues'. In his earliest dialogues Plato develops the ideas of Socrates through portrayals of Socrates' discussions with his contemporaries that proceed by questions and answers. Socrates is represented as asking a question and then analyzing the respondent's answer to generate more and better answers. Over time Plato gradually introduced his own, more developed, ideas in place of those of Socrates, though he still used Socrates as the speaker of these ideas. This created the problem of not knowing where Socrates leaves off and Plato's own ideas begin; the Socratic Problem.
Socrates used the Socratic Method to challenge people's beliefs and encourage critical thinking. By asking why, he sought to uncover the underlying assumptions and reasoning behind their statements, leading to deeper discussions and exploration of ideas.
The Socratic method is named after the Greek philosopher Socrates. He used this method to engage in dialogue and stimulate critical thinking by asking probing questions to explore ideas and uncover underlying assumptions.
Enlightenment ideas were spread through various methods such as books, newspapers, pamphlets, salons, coffeehouses, and universities. Philosophers and writers played a crucial role in disseminating these ideas through their writings and speeches, while the rise of literacy and the printing press helped in reaching a wider audience. Additionally, the formation of societies and academies provided a platform for discussions and debates on Enlightenment principles.
