All his adult life, Socrates made people think: Of their ideas and how faulty those were; of their superficial values and how incorrect those were; of their understanding of things and how weak that was!
For the ‘crime’ of highlighting what is truly desirable and virtuous, he was sentenced to death!!!!!
That was 2500 years ago. If Socrates lived in this day and age, would a vast majority of us wish to handle him differently? Of this I am not so sure.
this could be a problem,
he was probably against democracy..
and he was probably right :]
but still would be received as a lunatic.
there is a lot of ppl nowaday, walking around, spreading ‘knowledge’ on streets. repeating words of The Lord. what do you think about them? they are doing what Socrates did. one diffrence… Socrates knew that didnt know anything ;)
