According to Plato‚ Socrates had differentiated two ways of life‚ unexamined life and examined life. Socrates was irritated by the Sophists in his Era‚ and their leaning to teach logic as a means of achieving self-centered ends. An unexamined life to not examine or question one’s life is to risk misunderstanding one’s self in relation to the world‚ to remain oblivious to one’s thoughts‚ emotions‚ behaviors‚ and thus‚ to be a passive receiver of experience‚ instead of an active interpreter of experience

Reusi D. Ryals Writing 1 November 14‚ 2012 Socrates’ Stand on Democracy Having emphasized upon me the advantages of democracy‚ I have always believed that it is the best system to implement in a country. Ignoring the flaws and weaknesses of this type of system‚ I thought that the benefits outweigh all costs. I assume that giving the power to the people is better than having one person rule the state. However‚ in Plato’s account on the life of his mentor Socrates‚ we are able to see both sides of the spectrum:

Philosophy Socrates a sophist? Or just sophisticated? Plato goes a long way in attempting to distinguish Socrates from the likes of Protagoras‚ a self admitted sophist. In Protagoras‚ Socrates is depicted as a street smart‚ wisdom dispensing young man‚ brash with confidence and a bit of arrogance that goes a long way when confronted with the old school rhetoric of Protagoras. Plato begins to separate the two at the hip right from the get go. The dialogue between Socrates and his inquisitive friend

When reading Plato’s Republic‚ Socrates is shown as being very intriguing

Both texts are built around the central theme of the collapse of conventional values. While the breakdown of traditional values in the “History of the Peloponnesian

One representation of reality‚ according to Socrates‚ is that “in the visible realm‚ it produces both light and its source‚ and that in the intelligible realm” (203).
