Socrates Quotes
Yaşam Tarzı | 19.0MB
Socrates was a colorful figure in the history of Greece and through disciples like Plato influenced Western thought. His beliefs in the quest for truth and human virtue still resonate today. Unlike most of the Pre-Socratic philosophers who came before him, who were much more interested in establishing how the world works, Socrates was more concerned with how people should behave, and so was perhaps the first major philosopher of Ethics.
He is credited as one of the founders of Western Philosophy. He is considered by some as the very antithesis of the Sophists of his day, who claimed to have knowledge which they could transmit to others (often for payment), arguing instead that knowledge should be pursued for its own sake, even if one could never fully possess it.
He made important and lasting contributions in the fields of Ethics, Epistemology and Logic, and particularly in the methodology of philosophy (his Socratic Method or "elenchus"). His views were instrumental in the development of many of the major philosophical movements and schools which came after him, including Platonism (and the Neo-Platonism and Aristotelianism it gave rise to), Cynicism, Stoicism and Hedonism.
He often claimed that his wisdom was limited to an awareness of his own ignorance, (although he did claim to have knowledge of "the art of love"). Thus, he never actually claimed to be wise, only to understand the path a lover of wisdom must take in pursuing it. His claim that he knew one and only one thing, that he knew nothing, may have influenced the later school of Skepticism.
Socrates refused to pursue conventional politics, on the grounds that he could not look into the matters of others (or tell people how to live their lives) when he did not yet understand how to live his own.
