What is Socrates: Philosophy and the Self about?
Socrates (470-399 BCE) was an Athenian philosopher who is considered the father of Western philosophy. He worked as a stonemason like his father before pursuing philosophy. Socrates taught through questioning and focused on ethics rather than the physical world. He was tried for corrupting youth and impiety, found guilty, and sentenced to death by drinking hemlock. Socrates believed that the soul is immortal and our true self, not our physical attributes or possessions.
