He was a funny looking man with a cheerful face, good-natured and a great talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as "the Best, most just and wisest man. " Yet, this same man was sentenced to death for his beliefs.
The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, the most interesting and influential thinker in the fifth century. His dedication to careful reasoning transformed the entire enterprise. Since he sought genuine knowledge rather than mere victory over an opponent, Socrates employed the same logical tricks developed by the Sophists to a new purpose, the pursuit of truth. Thus, his willingness to call everything into question and his determination to accept nothing less than an adequate account of the nature of things made him the first clear exponent of critical philosophy.
He was condemned for not believing in the recognized for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who went to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.
Socrates’ method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to know the answers, to press his students into thinking for themselves. His teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy. Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.
Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to conservative people, and they wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.
Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him. But as a firm believer in law, Socrates reasoned that it was proper to submit, so, he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison hemlock in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.
What did the most of Socrates contemporaries believe in?
