Give a character sketch of Socrates
Answers
Hi Buddy
Socrates, whose "role" in the dialogues is always that of the probing philosopher, clearly dominates theRepublic; it may have been Plato's intent to portray Socrates here as what Plato saw as the idealphilosopher trying to think his way through to the creation of the ideal state. For generations of men and women who have engaged the study of philosophy, Plato and his successors have provided a shining pathway to the truth of the twentieth century's W. B. Yeats' pronouncement that "Wisdom is a butterfly / And not a gloomy bird of prey." The Socrates of the dialogues is enduringly amusing: witty, occasionally droll and puckish, sometimes caustic in his analysis of any topic attempted and its attendant arguments; Socrates causes the dialogues to flourish through the centuries. And Socratic method interests us almost as much as the man's matter; if we attend him closely, we emerge from the dialogues better thinkers ourselves from having observed a first-rate thinker thinking.
