Question

why was socrates famed for his wisdom?​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is in keeping with Socrates' philosophy that he consistently asserted his ignorance of all things. Since wisdom is a form of self-awareness, Socrates has some degree of knowledge because he is aware of his own stupidity.

Explanation:

• Understanding that we know very little or nothing at all requires humility.
• We both probably don't know anything important, but he pretends to when he doesn't, and I pretend to when I don't.
• Socrates stated that he would rather to be as he is, aware of his ignorance, than to let a fictitious sense of his own great wisdom delude him.
• Because he does not assume that he knows something he does not know, he comes to the conclusion that he is indeed wiser than other men.
