acropolis of athens at golden hour

Imagine meeting someone who believed the best way to understand the world was simply to ask questions — lots and lots of them. That someone was SOCRATES, one of the most famous PHILOSOPHERS in all of history. He lived in the ancient Greek city of ATHENS around 470 BCE, and he spent his days wandering the streets, talking with anyone who would listen. Socrates was so dedicated to the pursuit of WISDOM that the ancient Greeks considered him one of the founders of Western PHILOSOPHY. What makes him especially fascinating is that he never wrote a single word down — everything we know about him comes from his students.
