Who Is Socrates Pursue Wisdom?

Socrates pursues wisdom in many ways. I would specifically like to elaborate on his search for someone wiser than him in Athens, as my example. Socrates questions Politicians first in his pursuit. He wanted to see if these people were wiser than him, which is why he questions these people In the first place Socrates questions a politician, however he comes up short. He understood that these politicians did not know much of anything; “he thinks he knows something when he does not, whereas when I do not know, neither do I think I know; so I am wiser than he to this small extent, that I do not think I know what I do not know” (Apology. 21d-21e) . He realizes that this Politian looked very wise to others, but in reality he was not as wise as everyone had thought he was. This man began to dislike Socrates because Socrates started to prove to him that he was not as smart as he thought he was. Socrates came to the conclusion that this man thinks he knows something he does not, and when Socrates does not know something he does not try to act like he does, for this reason Socrates understands that he is wiser than this politician. This makes a lot of sense coming from Socrates because pretending or acting like you know something that you do not does not make a person wise or any smarter than someone else. Socrates
He knows himself that he has wisdom because the oracle was asked if there was anyone wiser than Socrates and the oracle replied that there was not. “I say, gentlemen, do not create a disturbance, he asked if any man was wiser than I, and the Pythian replied that there was not” (Apology. 21a). He can even confirm that he is very wise because he went on a quest looking for someone that is wiser than him, and he could not find anyone. I believe this “quest” was fun for him, just looking for people who are perceived as being very “wise” to see how smart they actually are compared to
