About Socrates
Socrates (Σωκράτης; c. 470 BC – 399 BC) was a classical Greek (Athenian) philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy. Through his portrayal in Plato's dialogues, Socrates has become renowned for his contribution to the field of ethics, and it is this Platonic Socrates who lends his name to the concepts of Socratic irony and the Socratic method, or elenchus. The latter remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions, and is a type of pedagogy in which a series of questions is asked not only to draw individual answers, but also to encourage fundamental insight into the issue at hand.

Additional quotes by Socrates
Sócrates dijo a sus amigos: «Algunos de vosotros me habéis dicho: Sócrates, si no se ocupara más que de sus asuntos, seguramente podría escapar a la ira del gobierno. Pero yo no puedo. Una vida aceptada sin reflexión, no merece la pena vivirla. Lo menos que se puede esperar de nosotros es que nos comportemos como hombres.»
No man on earth who conscientiously opposes either you or any other organized democracy, and flatly prevents a great many wrongs and illegalities from taking place in the state to which he belongs, can possibly escape with his life. The true champion of justice, if he intends to survive even for a short time, must necessarily confine himself to private life and leave politics alone.
