The Ancient World Making an Ancient Egyptian Mummy The Battle of Marathon, 490 BC Everyday Life in Ancient Greece ... 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.

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 Drank The Conium Socrates will probably never get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But while other groups were becoming well known in the free world, this Hendrix-style blues band was playing to standing-room-only crowds in a small club in Athens, during Greece's military dictatorship, a period when even Rolling Stone albums were hard to find, and for a time illegal. by Matt Barrett Socrates was Yannis Spathas and Antonis Tourkoyorgis on guitar and bass respectively. During the period that they were playing in the Kitarro Club they went through several drummers including George Trantalidis, all of them terrific. In Athens during the early seventies, when the 1967 military dictatorship was still in control, there were a number of rock clubs in the area around Victoria Square and in the Plaka. Poll and Morka played at the Elaterion. Socrates and Exidaktilos played at the Kitarro. As Dorian Kokas , the founder and leader of Morka told us one night "We used to race through our set and play everything fast so we could get out early and go to the Kittaro and catch the last set of Socrates." Musicians loved Socrates. Even Savopoulos used to go hear them.

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.

Parmenides , and Democritus had been trying to explain the diversity of nature. The object of the philosophy of the Athenian Socrates (was altogether different: he was interested in ethics. It was his axiom that no one would knowingly do a bad thing. So knowledge was important, because it resulted in good behavior. This was an important change in the scope of philosophy, and it has become customary to divide the history of the Greek quest for wisdom into a "pre-Socratic" phase, a classical phase (Socrates, Plato Aristotle ), and a hellenistic phase. If we are to believe his student Plato, Socrates was always asking people about what they knew, and invariably they had to admit that they did not really understand what was meant by words like courage, friendship, love etc. Socrates was never without critics. The comic poet Aristophanes ridiculed him in The clouds , and when his pupil Alcibiades had committed high treason, Socrates' position became very difficult. He was forced to drink hemlock after a charge that he had corrupted the youth.

29. Ethics Of Socrates, Xenophon, And Plato By Sanderson Beck socrates was born in 469 BC in Athens and was the son of a stonemason and a midwife. It was said that he did stone-work on the draped figures of the Graces http://san.beck.org/EC21-Socrates.html

BECK index Socrates, Xenophon, and Plato Empedocles Socrates Xenophon's Socrates Defense of Socrates ... Laws This chapter has been published in the book For information on ordering click here. In the fifth century BC the Pythagorean Empedocles of Acragas wrote two poems, On Nature and Purifications , about the middle of the fifth century BC. He saw the universe as shifting between Love and Strife and composed of the elements of fire, air, water, and earth. With Love comes concord and joy; Aristotle interpreted Love as the cause of good and Strife as the cause of bad. Aristotle also said that he had been a champion of freedom and was averse to all rules. Others said that Empedocles declined the kingship offered to him, because he preferred to live frugally. When a tyrant insisted that all the guests drink wine or have it poured over their heads, Empedocles the next day accused the host and master of revels; this led to their condemnation and execution. Thus began his political career; it was argued that he must have been both wealthy and democratic, because he broke up the assembly of a thousand three years after it was set up. Late in his life the descendants of his enemies opposed his return to Agrigentum; so he went to the Peloponnesus, where he died. Leucippus founded the atom theory of natural philosophy refined by Democritus, who also taught that the cheerful person eager for justice and right actions is strong and free of care, while those who do not care about justice and right find everything joyless and in memory are afraid and reproach themselves. Happiness, said Democritus, is not found in gold or cattle but in the soul. For Democritus the goal of action is tranquillity, which is not the same as pleasure but a state of well-being in which the soul is calm, strong and undisturbed by fear, superstition, and other feelings.

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.

The dialogues lay out one of the most comprehensive and influential philosophical systems of all time, present a stirring portrait (in the character of Socrates) of a unique philosophic practice, and are at the same time carefully-crafted dramas which richly portray interpersonal and intra-personal encounters and transformations. While most philosophical interpreters make some gesture toward all three dimensions of the texts, they tend to explain this third factor, that is the dramatic quality of the dialogues, as merely a tool for achieving the second aim, and reduce that in turn to a mere illustration of the first. Using the Meno In the end, though, while I hope to establish that the concept of katharsis is capable of generating a compelling account of what might be educational about Socratic cross-examination, the Platonic understanding of this concept will need to be supplemented. While Plato nicely portrays kathartic transformations, his self-understanding of these transformations (as I have garnered it from later dialogues) is insufficiently rich as it stands. It remains tied on the one hand to the medical metaphor of purgation and on the other to the religious metaphor of purification, and furthermore rests on an inadequate conception of the emotions.
