Subject: How many more remember this? |
Bible Note: I found this article and brought this subject to mind, making me wanting to share this portion of it with the forum: How many more remember this? ---We can see from these accusations against Socrates, where they were all derived from when he said to us, that the oracle told him, “that he was the wisest man on earth”, and Socrates started interrogating and asking himself, what was the reason of which the oracle got that idea from? He states, that he went and started a debate with the wise people, with the politicians and the artists. And from all Socrates concluded, that he himself was much more wiser than all of them, because they believed to be great men of knowledge, considered connoisseurs of many things but, in reality they were not at all. ---Socrates also tells us that in fact, there was the proof that they believed to be wise, as the characteristic in the idiosyncrasy of Socrates. He formulated many questions and began to act ignorant, to later demonstrate that the ignorant were the ones with which he was debating with, therefore they began to be hatred against Socrates, because he made them see that really those that were believed wise people were not. So then began the accusations by the different groups towards him. ---It concludes that when the oracle started saying, that Socrates was the wisest man on the Earth, the oracle meant that “The wisest man on the Earth was the one that thought that his wisdom was nothing” this reminded me the saying: “I only know, that I know nothing” with this I then understood that what Socrates meant was, “that the man who believes that he is wise and knows all the things limits himself to know only those things that he already knows, and by doing so he cannot see beyond”, meaning, he limits his mind to gain new forms of knowledge, because is quite rightly that a single life would not be able to gain not even 1 percent of all the existing things that are there to be know. http://html.rincondelvago.com/apologia-de-socrates_platon_16.html |
