Socrates

Socrates was a philosopher in ancient Greece. He spent his time engaging in discussions with citizens, questioning their beliefs and challenging them to think critically about important ethical and moral issues. He did not hold a formal job but instead devoted himself to the pursuit of wisdom and truth.

Yes Socrates did come from a humble background.

Sophist's desired money in return for teaching young men various things about political and social life, such as rhetoric. The word Sophist means something along the lines of "One who is wise"

Socrates was a philosopher, meaning "Lover of wisdom" He spent his days wandering around the gym and the agora (market), talking to people. He developed a following of young Greeks, such as Plato and Xenephon. Socrates did not charge for his teachings. He also made a habit of proving just how little Sophist's actually knew.

Socrates argues in Speech II for the notion that justice is a virtue that benefits the individual regardless of any rewards or consequences, and that it is inherently valuable in and of itself. He suggests that acting justly is essential for achieving a truly fulfilling and harmonious life.

Socrates, a classical Greek philosopher, is renowned for his use of the question-and-answer method known as the Socratic method. Through engaging in dialogue and questioning, Socrates sought to stimulate critical thinking and arrive at important truths about ethics, morality, and knowledge.

Socrates believed in the immortality of the soul and viewed death as a release from the troubles of this world. He also maintained that death was not something to be feared, as it was the ultimate truth and an opportunity to gain wisdom or reunite with the gods. Therefore, he faced death with cheerfulness and acceptance.

The Socratic technique involves the search for truth via discussion and questioning. Problems may arise from not being able to control where the discussion may lead to in a structured curriculum. Student participation is mandatory and some who fear speaking in front of others may have problems. Some may not like the no right answer theorem.

Socrates by trade was a stonemason and sculptor, but he is most well-known for his philosophical teachings and contributions to Western philosophy. He did not formally train as a philosopher but became a prominent figure through his questioning of his fellow citizens in Athens.

They were all killed , and all were young.

I think you are talking about Prophet Muhummad from the Islam faith. He was very important to the people who believed in Islam faith as they prayed in the direction of Mecca, Saudi Arabia where the great mosque is. Jesus died on the cross for his beliefs and for the sins of the world! Socrates was a Greek philosopher who drank poison and died to keep his integrity and what he worked his whole life for.

Plato was a famous Greek philosopher who was a student of Socrates and went on to found the Academy, one of the earliest known institutions of higher learning in the Western world. He is known for his dialogues and works on various subjects including ethics, politics, and metaphysics.

In the beginning he was a poor man, but later he became famous.

His influence has ben small, other than as an object lesson of a man devoting himself to bettering his people by example and getting them to think straight - with no thought of self-aggrandisement, self-interest and self-enrichment.

Now, as then, few people take any notice of his central message, which was to think rationally, logically and sensibly. Today, as in his day, most people are still part of the herd in unthinkingly and uncritically following leaders, 'beliefs', politics, religion, 'good' causes, etc. No Socrates there - but rather the very antithesis of his teaching - blindly following the mob like cattle without thinking it through for themselves.

Socrates was critical of democracy, as he believed it could lead to rule by the unqualified majority. Plato was also critical of democracy, preferring a philosopher-king ruling society in his ideal Republic. Aristotle had a more nuanced view, seeing democracy as a potentially good system if structured correctly to prevent mob rule and uphold the rule of law.

Aristotle is the author of the famous book "Politics."

Socrates lived in the 5th century BC in Ancient Greece. He was born around 470 BC and died in 399 BC.

Socrates was Plato's teacher. Socrates never wrote anything down, so when he died, Plato wrote down his teachings and passed his messages on. so basically, Socrates inspired most of Plato's ideas.

Socrates was sentenced to death by drinking a cup of poison called hemlock. He was found guilty of corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety towards the gods.

Socrates was trained as a stonemason, a trade he practiced for a period before dedicating himself to philosophy.

Yes, Socrates was married to Xanthippe and they had three sons together. His family life and relationships are not well-documented, as much of what is known about Socrates comes from the accounts of his students, most notably Plato.

Socrates' contribution to psychology was primarily through his philosophical method of questioning and examining beliefs and perceptions. He sought to understand the nature of the self, knowledge, and human behavior by engaging in dialogues that promoted self-awareness and critical thinking. He emphasized introspection and the importance of questioning assumptions in order to gain a deeper understanding of oneself and others.

In many ancient cultures, last names were not common in Ancient Greece. Therefore, Socrates has no last name.

Socrates two main ideas were that harm can only come upon a person if they lose their integrity and that nobody knowingly does harm, creating the notion that ignorance leads to evil. He was the philosopher who basically created interrogation tactics to try and understand the world.

Plato, the student of Socrates, agreed with these notions but took them farther saying that knowledge = virtue. He also created the first college which he called the Academy (where this name originally came from) and said that math is of the utmost value and that it explains the natural world. He also created the theory of forms.

Aristotle, the pupil of Plato, stated that observation combined with experience explain the world, and should be used as the approach before abstract thinking. He also mapped out the most basic fields of inquiry.

Plato was born in Athens or a nearby area qualifying him for citizenship. Aristotle was born in Stageira, probably raised in Thrace, and lived most of his life in Athens.
