Sócrates
Sócrates was an ancient Greek philosopher who is considered one of the founders of Western philosophy. He is best known for his unique method of inquiry, the Socratic method, which involves asking a series of questions to stimulate critical thinking and illuminate ideas. Living in Athens during the 5th century BC, he focused on ethics and the examination of moral concepts, emphasizing the importance of self-knowledge and virtue. Despite leaving no written works, his thoughts were documented by his students, notably Plato, who depicted him in dialogues that explore fundamental philosophical questions. Socrates' legacy endures as a symbol of intellectual inquiry and the pursuit of truth, often challenging societal norms and encouraging dialogue and reflection, making him a timeless figure in the discourse of philosophy.
