The Life and Works of Socrates

Socrates, a Greek philosopher and teacher, was born in Athens on June 4, 469 BC, died in Athens on May 7, 399 BC. Socrates has never written anything on his own, so there is little evidence of Socrates' life. All things the world knows about Socrates comes from the works of Plato, Aristotle, Aristophanes and Xenophon. These works are mainly dialogue, theater, memo of historians. The majority of Socrates' life has been established in the work and dialogue of the two main witnesses.

In order to understand Socrates and his ideas it is necessary to turn to Plato's work Plato's dialogue is considered the most abundant source of information about Socrates' life and philosophy and Xenophon. These works are the Sokratikoi logo or Socrates dialogue. And it obviously includes a dialogue report containing Socrates. Regarding the discovery of Socrates in real life, difficulties lie in the fact that ancient materials are mainly philosophical or dramatic text, in addition to Xenophon. Modern Socrates does not have a direct history of dealing with his own time and place. One reasoning is that claims to Socrates sources are not necessarily claiming to be historically accurate and partisan. For example, people who appealed and convicted Socrates have no will. Hence historians face the challenge of harmonizing various evidences from existing text to provide an accurate and consistent account of Socrates' life and work.

Trials can be compared in three major areas: the evidence and reasons for their enforcement, the final message that they have charged, and the idea of ​​the two leaders on impending death. There is no evidence supporting these convictions for these two numbers, even if Jesus has no time to protect himself, they are convicted for similar reasons.
