Question

write paragraph on Socrates in 100 words​

Answer 1

Answer:

Athenian philosopher . He is said to have been a sculptor , and served as a soldier,but the greater part of his life he develoted to philosophical discussion. Our main sources of biographical information are Plato's dialogues,Xenophon's Memorabilia, and Aristophanes satirical picture in The Clouds; it is uncertain how far Plato attributed his own opinions to Socrates .In philosophy he rejected the search for scientific knowledge ,and set himself to guide men to clear thought on ethics and politics ; his method was by pretending ignorance to encourage others talk, and then by cross examination to expose their inconsistencies. He was accused in 399 of impiety and corrupting the young ,and. in spite of an eloquent defence condemned to die by drinking hemlock .His trial and death are movingly described by Plato.
