“…a good man cannot be harmed either in life or in death, and that his affairs are not neglected by the gods.”

― Socrates, Apology

Socrates, a prominent figure in ancient Greek philosophy, was known for his unique questioning style and moral inquiries. He was a major inspiration for his student Plato, who is often credited with founding Western philosophy. Socrates didn’t write any texts himself, but his ideas are known through Plato’s dialogues. Socrates’ teachings, known as the “Socratic method”, involved asking probing questions to help students arrive at their own understanding.
