WORDS AND WISDOM OF WISEST PEOPLE IN MANKIND ANALYZED FOR FREE THINKERS

SOCRATES, PLATO & ARISTOTLE ARE WORTH MENTIONING THE WISEST MEN OF GREEKS IN ANCIENT ATHENS.

PARADOXES OF SOCRATES , DISCUSSIONS ON DEMOCRACY, AWARENESS OF THE VERY INNER VOICE OR DIVINE MADNESS OR CONSCIENCE BY SOCRATES MADE THE ANCIENT MAN SEEK WISDOM, TO UNDERSTAND THOUGHT OF WHAT WE STAND FOR & WHO WE ARE.

SOCRATES:

WISEST MAN IN 400 BC HE WAS OCCUPIED WITH SEARCH FOR MORAL VIRTUES, HE WAS THE FIRST TO SEARCH FOR THE DEFINITION OF VIRTUES.

According to Plato's Apology, Socrates' life as the "gadfly" of Athens began when his friend Chaerephon asked the oracle at Delphi if anyone were wiser than Socrates; the Oracle responded that no-one was wiser. Socrates believed the Oracle's response was a paradox, because he believed he possessed no wisdom whatsoever. He proceeded to test the riddle by approaching men considered wise by the people of Athens—statesmen, poets, and artisans—in order to refute the Oracle's pronouncement. Questioning them, however, Socrates concluded: while each man thought he knew a great deal and was wise, in fact they knew very little and were not wise at all. Socrates realized the Oracle was correct; while so-called wise men thought themselves wise and yet were not, he himself knew he was not wise at all, which, paradoxically, made him the wiser one since he was the only person aware of his own ignorance
SOCRATES PARADOXES
NO ONE DESIRES EVIL.
NO ONE ERRS OR DOES WRONG WILLINGLY OR KNOWINGLY.
ALL VIRTUE IS KNOWLEDGE.
VIRTUE IS SUFFICIENT FOR HAPPINESS.
I KNOW THAT I KNOW NOTHING.
After all, Socrates' dialectic method of teaching was based on that he as a teacher knew nothing, so he would derive knowledge from his students by dialogue.
