Socrates (470-399 BCE) - Ancient Greek Philosopher

Discover the incredible story of Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher who laid the foundations of Western philosophy. Living in Athens during the 5th century BCE, Socrates challenged conventional wisdom and championed the pursuit of truth through relentless questioning—an approach now known as the Socratic Method.

Despite never writing down his teachings, his ideas on ethics, virtue, and knowledge were immortalized by his students, including Plato. Socrates’ unwavering commitment to his principles led him to stand trial and accept a death sentence, leaving behind a legacy of intellectual courage and critical thinking.
