In the time of Socrates (Classical Greece), the oral tradition was pretty strong. Some people question the extent to which Plato's textual references are truly the words of Socrates himself but in ancient times, Philosophers were more concerned with teaching their disciples than writing.

What was Socrates notion of wisdom?

It is difficult to say. Socrates is credited with saying, "Know thyself." He believed that knowledge is gained by means of questions, (like the people who write to WikiAnswers). He also believed that everything should be examined and questioned. * Benjamin Franklin wrote: Imitate Christ and Socrates. Christ once wrote something in the sand but brushed it away before anyone could read it. Socrates never wrote anything, and all of his teachings were oral. The students of Socrates, Plato among them, did the writing like the disciples of Christ. * In the opinion of this contributor, Socrates' notion of wisdom was to avoid being locked into ideas which never change and are never questioned.
