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.

Damn son, where'd you find this?

الرفاهية و الأبهة تلك هي السعادة في نظرك . أما أنا فإني أعتقد أنه إذا كان من خصائص الإله أنه لا يحتاج إلى شيء، فإن مما يقرب من الألوهية أن لا يحتاج الإنسان إلا إلى قليل . و بما أنه لا أكمل من الله فإن القرب منه قرب من الكمال
