Socrates

Socrates is a Greek philosopher who lived between 470 and 399 BC. He turned Greek's attention away from the problems of celestial bodies and directed the issue of morality and virtue. Socrates spent a lot of time talking to the public in Agora (market). Socrates believes that the truth can be found through thought and cooperation with others. He is known for being ignorant, hypocritical, and insulted. Despite the many believers, most Athenians do not like Socrates.

Greek philosopher Socrates on December 14, 2014 PHI / 105 In the beautiful Greek Athens there is a philosopher Socrates, and his "Socratic method" laid the foundation of Western logic and philosophy system. Because Socrates believed that he did not know anything, Oracle said that to Socrates he said he was smart, so in order to hear what they said they should look for "wise men". So Socrates started asking questions in different parts of Greece.

Early in the defense speech of Socrates, he asked if his friend Chaerephon went to the god of Delphi and someone was smarter than Socrates. God said to Chaerephon, nobody is as smart as Socrates. Socrates was confused about the news because he found it difficult to believe that he was the wisest person. Socrates realized his ignorance; he did not think he was smart. Therefore, he decided to try to refute the gods by finding a wise person than him. He talks with people of various professions such as politicians, poets, craftsmen, but I think they have only "human wisdom". For example, craftworkers are only smart in their art, but they lack the wisdom that Socrates calls "higher things" or "human excellence." Socrates found:

This solution solves Socrates' s own philosophical approach. The politician Socrates said is thinking he is smart, he knows enough to win the reputation of wisdom. However, Socrates found in his conversation with a man that he was always overestimating the range of his knowledge and wisdom. Politicians pretended to know that he really did not know anything about it. Socrates departed from the conversation and became confused. In many ways, politicians are his intellectual because he mastered the problem of Socrates. But this guy has a foolish habit to assume that this knowledge will give him the opportunity to gain insight into the issues beyond this subject area. It seems as if he believes him to be super-existential with absolute knowledge and ability due to his position and achievement.
