About Socrates
Socrates (c. 470–399 BCE) was an influential ancient Greek philosopher who is often regarded as one of the founders of Western philosophy. Known for his method of dialectical questioning, called the Socratic method, he sought to explore moral concepts and encourage critical thinking among his students. Despite leaving no writings of his own, his ideas and teachings are primarily known through the works of his students, particularly Plato, and he is remembered for his commitment to seeking truth and wisdom, ultimately leading to his trial and execution for allegedly corrupting the youth of Athens.
