During the time of Socrates there was no proper science except mathematics, geometry and astronomy. Even all these things were considered as included in philosophy. Philosophy was then thought, analysis and dissemination of knowledge. What happened in human mind was the other main engagement of philosophy. Socrates believed in the virtue and goodness of man which he considered cannot be subjected to tyrrannical mob democracy and which, if let free, can build a mighty and virtuous nation in the long run. This he discussed and debated with whoever he could and this constituted his philosophy. His interest in philosophy was, only through it could men be made to live free, learned and wise, made thus through skilfully plotted arguments.
