Socrates
An ancient Greek philosopher who taught by asking questions, and who chose to die rather than give up his beliefs.
What is it?
Socrates (c. 470–399 BCE) was a philosopher from Athens, Greece. He didn't write books; instead, he talked with people in the marketplace, asking questions to make them think. This method is called the Socratic method. He was accused of corrupting the youth and not believing in the city's gods. He was sentenced to death by drinking poison hemlock. His student Plato wrote about his final conversation in the dialogue "Phaedo." The painting "The Death of Socrates" shows this moment. Socrates believed that the soul is immortal and that a good person cannot be harmed by death.
Why it matters
Socrates is one of the founders of Western philosophy. His way of questioning helped people think critically. His calm acceptance of death has inspired many.
