ABOUT SOCRATES
Socrates, one of the most iconic figures in the history of philosophy, was born in Athens, Greece, around 470 BCE. Though his life is shrouded in mystery, his impact on Western thought and intellectual inquiry is profound and enduring. Despite leaving no writings of his own, his ideas and teachings were immortalized by his student Plato, who wrote extensively about him in his dialogues, and Xenophon, another contemporary who chronicled his life.
