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
Pues bien, cuando alguien se da a la
música y deja que le inunde el alma derramando por sus oídos, como por un canal, aquellas
dulces, suaves y lastimeras armonías de que
hablábamos hace poco y pasa su vida entera
entre gorjeos y goces musicales, esta persona
comienza por templar, como el fuego al hierro,
la fogosidad que pueda albergar su espíritu y
hacerla útil de dura e inservible. Pero si persiste
y no cesa de entregarse a su hechizo, entonces
ya no hará otra cosa que liquidar y ablandar
ésta su fogosidad hasta que, derretida ya por
completo, cortados, por así decirlo, los tendones del alma, la persona se transforma en un
«feble guerrero»
If there is anything beautiful other than absolute beauty, that can only be beautiful as far as it partakes of absolute beauty—and this I should say of everything. ...by beauty all things become beautiful. ...by greatness only great things become great and greater and greater, and by smallness the less becomes less.
Phaedo
