About the Author

Socrates was an ancient Greek philosopher born in Athens around 470 BCE who revolutionized thinking through dialogue and questioning. He is famous for claiming "I know that I know nothing," encouraging people to examine their beliefs critically rather than accept them blindly. Though he wrote nothing himself, his student Plato documented his teachings about virtue, justice, and the pursuit of truth. Socrates was eventually tried for corrupting youth and executed by drinking hemlock in 399 BCE.
