Who was Socrates? Who were his disciples?
Socrates was a
great philosopher of Athens(469-399 BC). He loved truth and discarded scepticism.
He called upon the youth of his time to develop a spirit of inquiry.
However his ideas
did not find favour with the charged him for corrupting the youth and condemned
him to die.
He was made to
drink hemlock, a herbal poison. Thus ended the life of one of the wisest men of
all times.
His disciples
were Plato and Xenophen. Socrates himself wrote nothing. Today we know about
his life and what he said and did through the writings of Plato and Xenophen.
