Dining with Attila the Hun, 448 The Suicide of Socrates, 399 BC Printer Friendly Version >>> O n a day in 399 BC the philosopher Socrates stood before a jury of 500 of his fellow Athenians accused of "refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state" and "of corrupting the youth." If found guilty; his penalty could be death. The trial took place in the heart of the city, the jurors seated on wooden benches surrounded by a crowd of spectators. Socrates' accusers (three Athenian citizens) were allotted three hours to present their case, after which, the philosopher would have three hours to defend himself. Socrates Socrates was 70 years old and familiar to most Athenians. His anti-democratic views had turned many in the city against him. Two of his students, Alcibiades and Critias, had twice briefly overthrown the democratic government of the city, instituting a reign of terror in which thousands of citizens were deprived of their property and either banished from the city or executed. After hearing the arguments of both Socrates and his accusers, the jury was asked to vote on his guilt. Under Athenian law the jurors did not deliberate the point. Instead, each juror registered his judgment by placing a small disk into an urn marked either "guilty" or "not guilty." Socrates was found guilty by a vote of 280 to 220.

24. Who Was Socrates? Brief and Straightforward Guide Who Was socrates? http://www.wisegeek.com/who-was-socrates.htm

Who Was Socrates? ad_unit_target='mainAdUnit'; X Close this window When we speak of Socrates, we must differentiate between the historical Socrates and the figurative Socrates, i.e., the Socrates of Plato . Either way, Socrates perhaps can be considered the father of western philosophy . His influence can be found in virtually all philosophical works, and his views are still discussed and debated today. The historical Socrates lived in ancient Athens from 470-399 BCE. He was a very well known philosopher during his lifetime, but made his living as a stonemason . As a philosopher, it is peculiar that Socrates never wrote down any of his views. For this reason, what is known of Socrates and his philosophy must be surmised from the works of other ancient philosophers such as Xenophon, Aristotle and especially Plato, all of whom wrote of him after his death. The only known work produced about Socrates during his lifetime was a fictional play called Clouds It is widely accepted that Socrates lived an honorable and virtuous life. Socrates lived meticulously according to the laws of his state and believed strongly in justice. He believed that virtue is knowledge and famously stated that, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Despite Socrates' noble character, he suffered a lot of criticism that eventually led to his condemnation and subsequent death. Socrates was egregiously disliked by the prestigious citizens of Athens. This was because of what is now called

Greek History Who is Socrates? Who is Socrates? Greek Philosopher Leslie Smith Mar 21, 2007 This article touches on who one of the most important philosophical figures of Ancient Greece, who layed out the foundation for Western philosophy as we know it today. So who was Socrates? Most of what we do know about Socrates comes from the writings of another very important person in Greek history, Plato. Both Socrates and Plato were very important Greek philosophers of ancient Greece. Socrates actually wrote nothing, because he felt that knowledge was something to be gained by living and interacting in the world. He had several dialogues with the people of that time, and his philosophical inquiries of the people consisted of questioning them on the positions they held on certain ideas, to the point of having them contradict themselves, therefore showing them that what they originally asserted to be true, was in fact not the case. Basically, in all dialogues he had with others, he was cross-examining them, in order that they would look deeper within themselves, and to show them that they actually knew nothing at all. In fact, Socrates himself radically proclaimed to know nothing at all but that he knows nothing about anything.

28. Socrates - Crystalinks socrates (June 4, ca. 470 BC May 7, 399 BC) was a Greek (Athenian) philosopher. The character of socrates provides an illustration of a historical http://www.crystalinks.com/socrates.html

Socrates (June 4, ca. 470 BC - May 7, 399 BC) was a Greek (Athenian) philosopher. The character of Socrates provides an illustration of a historical conundrum. If Socrates ever wrote a single word, it has not survived. As such, the entirety of modern knowledge concerning Socrates must be drawn from a limited number of secondary sources, such as the works of Plato, Aristotle, Aristophanes and Xenophon. Aristophanes was known as a satirist, and so his accounts of Socrates may well be skewed, exaggerated, or totally falsified. Fragmentary evidence also exists from Socrates' contemporaries. Giannantoni, in his monumental work Socratis et Socraticorum Reliquiae collects every scrap of evidence pertaining to Socrates. It includes writers such as Aeschines Socraticus (not the orator), Antisthenes, and a number of others who knew Socrates. Plato, following Greek tradition, appears to have attributed his own ideas, theories, and possibly personal traits, to his mentor. Due to the problems inherent in such sources, all information regarding Socrates should be taken as possibly, but not definitely, true. According to accounts from antiquity, Socrates' father was Sophroniscus, a sculptor, and his mother Phaenarete, a midwife. He was married to Xanthippe, who bore him three sons. By the cultural standards of the time, she was considered a shrew. Socrates himself attested that he, having learned to live with Xanthippe, would be able to cope with any other human being (supposedly), just as a horse trainer accustomed to wilder horses might be more competent than one not. He also saw military action, fighting at the Battle of Potidaea, the Battle of Delium and the Battle of Amphipolis.

Socrates The Socratic Method Among the first things you'll hear about when trying to understand the Law School experience is "The Socratic Method." We thought we should try to understand a bit of Socrates, the man, before we understand Socrates, the method. Socrates (470 399 BC) was a Greek philosopher who, despite being considered one of the greatest and most important philosophers who ever lived, left no writings at all. Most of what we know about his life and work comes from the writings of his disciples, Xenophon and Plato. He lived during a period of transition in the Greek empire, and after the Peloponnesian War, he was tried, convicted, and executed for corrupting the young. Socrates engaged in questioning of his students in an unending search for truth. He sought to get to the foundations of his students' and colleagues' views by asking continual questions until a contradiction was exposed, thus proving the fallacy of the initial assumption. This became known as the Socratic Method , and may be Socrates' most enduring contribution to philosophy.

Socrates 1. The Problem of the Historical Socrates Socrates' centrality to the history of Western philosophy has been assured by Plato, who himself is one of the major figures of Western philosophy. Without the exposure given to Socrates by Plato in his dialogues it is possible that Socrates would have been only a minor figure in the history of Western philosophy, since as far as is known he left no writings or philosophical school as his legacy. The question that arises, however, is to which extent the Platonic Socrates is true to the historical Socrates. It cannot be assumed that Plato's portrayal of Socrates is historically accurate or was even intended to be. It is clear that Plato's admiration of Socrates has resulted in a merger of Socrates' philosophical views with his own. The task of the historian is to separate the historical Socrates from the "Platonic" Socrates. 1.1. Possible Sources for Information about the Historical Socrates 1.1.1. Plato

Socrates (470 - 399 B.C.) ... To read about Socrates in Plato's dialogues, press here Socrates (470 - 399 B.C.) ... Socrates was the first major philosopher to wrestle in a systematic way with ethical questions... What is virtue? What is justice? What is it that makes an action good? What is the End of human existence? He was known for his uncompromising search for and devotion to truth, a devotion which eventually cost him his life. Socrates was the first martyr of philosophy. He, like Jesus, wrote nothing and attracted crowds everywhere he went. He wandered through the streets of Athens followed by a coterie of budding young intellectuals who watched him question the most respected people in the city, publicly reducing their often proud wisdom to ignorance. Socrates claimed to have been told by an oracle that he was the wisest person in all of Athens. Incredulous, he decided to begin wandering the streets and questioning the people who were reputed to be the wisest people in Athens, just to prove the oracle wrong. What he found out was that all of the most respected people thought that they had knowledge of things that they were really ignorant of and indeed,of all the people he met he was the wisest, simply because he acknowledged his ignorance. Socrates, was born in Athens, Greece in 470 B.C., at a time when the city was in a Renaissance of sorts after its victory over the Persians. Sophocles and Euripides, the famous playwrights, were contemporaries of Socrates'. Socrates was said to have been a gifted sculptor was universally acknowledged by his contemporaries as being extraordinarily ugly. One of his students, Alciabides, said that Socrates was like one of the trick statues that were sold in Athenian marketplaces: They have the exterior of a Silenus (a mythological clown), but open them up and you find inside of them the image of a god. Socrates was also known for his indifference to fashion and ordinary comforts. Though he was probably apprenticed as a stonecutter or a sculptor, for most of his life he had no steady job, and lived off of a modest inheritence. He wandered around Athens unwashed, unkempt, and barefoot, in an old tattered coat, the only one which he owned.

Confucius and Socrates Contents BECK index SOCRATES Life and Deeds This chapter has been published in the book CONFUCIUS AND SOCRATES Teaching Wisdom For information on ordering click here. Ten years after the death of Confucius, Socrates was born in Athens in the fourth year of the 77th Olympiad on the sixth day of the month of Thargelion, when the city was purified, according to Diogenes Laertius' citation of Apollodorus' Chronology.1 In Plato's account of Socrates' speech in his trial of 399 BC, Socrates said he was seventy years old.2 Therefore he lived (469-399) during the century which has been called the golden age of Athens. The Greeks had stopped the Persians at Marathon in 490 and turned them away for good in 480 at Salamis and in 479 at Plataea. With security from foreign encroachment, the way was prepared for Aeschylus Sophocles Euripides Aristophanes , Pericles, the sophists, and Socrates. Socrates was the son of Sophroniscus, a sculptor, and he referred to Daedalus, the traditional founder of sculpting and stone-masonry, as his ancestor.3 His biographer Diogenes Laertius wrote that some sources indicated that Socrates was employed on the stone-work of the draped figures of the Graces on the Acropolis.4 This is not unlikely since this work was commissioned by Pericles as a public works project when Socrates was a young man. His mother was Phaenarete, and in Plato's Theaetetus Socrates said she was a midwife.5
