@ TELEGRAM: SOCRATES WAS A GREEK PHILOSOPHER FROM ATHENS WHO IS CREDITED AS THE FOUNDER OF WESTERN PHILOSOPHY AND AMONG THE FIRST MORAL PHILOSOPHERS OF THE ETHICAL TRADITION OF THOUGHT. AN ENIGMATIC FIGURE, SOCRATES AUTHORED NO TEXTS AND IS KNOWN MAINLY THROUGH THE POSTHUMOUS ACCOUNTS OF CLASSICAL WRITERS, PARTICULARLY HIS STUDENTS PLATO AND XENOPHON. CONTRADICTORY ACCOUNTS OF SOCRATES MAKE A RECONSTRUCTION OF HIS PHILOSOPHY NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE... SOCRATES WAS A POLARIZING FIGURE IN ATHENIAN SOCIETY. IN 399 BC, HE WAS ACCUSED OF IMPIETY AND CORRUPTING THE YOUTH. AFTER A TRIAL THAT LASTED A DAY, HE WAS SENTENCED TO DEATH. HE SPENT HIS LAST DAY IN PRISON, REFUSING OFFERS TO HELP HIM ESCAPE. PLATO’S DIALOGUES ARE AMONG THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE ACCOUNTS OF SOCRATES TO SURVIVE FROM ANTIQUITY. THEY DEMONSTRATE THE SOCRATIC APPROACH TO AREAS OF PHILOSOPHY INCLUDING RATIONALISM AND ETHICS. SOCRATES IS KNOWN FOR PROCLAIMING HIS TOTAL IGNORANCE; HE USED TO SAY THAT THE ONLY THING HE WAS AWARE OF WAS HIS IGNORANCE, SEEKING TO IMPLY THAT THE REALIZATION OF OUR IGNORANCE IS THE FIRST STEP IN PHILOSOPHIZING. SOCRATES EXERTED A STRONG INFLUENCE ON PHILOSOPHERS IN LATER ANTIQUITY AND HAS CONTINUED TO DO SO IN THE MODERN ERA. SOCRATES WAS STUDIED BY MEDIEVAL AND ISLAMIC SCHOLARS AND PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE THOUGHT OF THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE, PARTICULARLY WITHIN THE HUMANIST MOVEMENT. INTEREST IN SOCRATES CONTINUES UNABATED, AS REFLECTED IN THE WORKS OF SØREN KIERKEGAARD AND FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE. DEPICTIONS OF SOCRATES IN ART, LITERATURE, AND POPULAR CULTURE HAVE MADE HIM A WIDELY KNOWN FIGURE IN THE WESTERN PHILOSOPHICAL TRADITION. #historyandphilosophy #socrates #ethics #education #moralphilosophy #innabesedina #epistemology #socraticmethod #westernphilosophy #eudaimonism #philosophyofsocrates #ancientgreekphilosophy #classicalgreekphilosophy #socraticintellectualism #intellectualism #knowledge #socraticquestioning #socraticdialogue #philosophy #studying #philosophical #thoughts #philosophicalthoughts #quotes #smartquotes 00:00 SOCRATES 03:38 PHILOSOPHY 04:12 SOCRATIC METHOD 07:06 SOCRATIC PRIORITY OF DEFINITION 07:44 SOCRATIC EUDAIMONISM AND INTELLECTUALISM MANY IMAGES IN THIS VIDEO ARE IMAGES IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
