Why?

new phone who dis

anyway not your personal army do your own homework you lazy hippopotamus

socrates can be summed up as a very smarty guy who doesn't know anything and we should be like him. if you aren't reading aristotle at the same time you're wrong.

Is there anything we know about socrates? I only know him thru Plato

How does one explain a philosophy? Philosophy is the desire for wisdom. The gods, already possessing wisdom, are not philosophers, for one cannot for what is in one's own possession.
"Socrates really wanted wisdom."
See? There's not much to explain.

He was a white, musical man. :3

He don’t no nuffin

Xenophon also talks about him.

his father may have been a stonemason
also there's Xenophon

That's seriously all you got out of him?

underrated post

Is there any logical reason why you would fucking say that post is underrated? Has anybody expressed any kind of dissatisfaction or criticism at all against it? Are you delusional? Are you reading replies that are nonexistant? Maybe you come from communities with voting systems, but there is literally no way that you could know what other people think of that post you just replied to here. Maybe it's psychological. Maybe it's your own post you're replying to, like a 12 year old fucktard liking his own facebook posts thinking his swelling autism is going unnoticed. Maybe your self esteem depends on you tricking yourself into thinking someone out there thinks your post is worth something. Or maybe you are just a retard, the worst kind of retard, the one who thinks he's smart, the one who thinks he's the only one to have gotten the joke, to have understood the post. Well, guess what, faggot, that post is under no definition underrated so why don't you do the world a favor and go check out what the bottom of your toilet smells like?

underrated post

A curse upon you and your homestead.

Society is run by a bunch of pretentious cunts who don't know what they're doing, and the masses are too stupid to notice the sham so they follow along. People think they have a comfortable understanding of the world, but if you ask them even basic questions about their positions, they crumble. Society is fucked, but you don't have to be. You can work on yourself and talk with people. This is the long, slow process of trying to make the place less shit. Take reason as your guide, but do not neglect passion. Reason and passion should work in harmony, though reason makes all the decisions. Be humble. Don't compromise your virtue. It's better to be virtuous and hated than to be vicious and loved. Uh...that's all I've got off the top of my head.

aristophanes depicted him in the clouds when he was still alive

Socratic method is great for tearing apart the minds of mere mortals.

His ethics get BTFO by Aristotle's

Proto-deconstruction.

Democracy sucks if all the citizens are stupid

Basically Jesus but without all the "I am God incarnate" and other stupid bullshit.

are you an actual retard?

The issue of the Plato-Jesus connection has been a thing for a very long time. Have you not read Augustine?

>Plato-Jesus
Plato would be like Paul in this analogy, or an apostle that actually knew Jesus though they did not write as many epistles as Paul
