| | Socrates - MSN Encarta |
 | | Socrates believed in the superiority of argument over writing and therefore spent the greater part of his mature life in the marketplace and public places of Athens, engaging in dialogue and argument with anyone who would listen or who would submit to interrogation. | | | Socrates was obedient to the laws of Athens, but he generally steered clear of politics, restrained by what he believed to be divine warning. | | | Although a patriot and a man of deep religious conviction, Socrates was nonetheless regarded with suspicion by many of his contemporaries, who disliked his attitude toward the Athenian state and the established religion. |

| | Socrates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Socrates seems to have often stated that his wisdom was limited to an awareness of his own ignorance. | | | Socrates may have believed that wrongdoing was a consequence of ignorance, that those who did wrong knew no better. | | | Socrates explains that he is himself barren of theories, but knows how to bring the theories of others to birth and determine whether they are worthy or mere "wind eggs". |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Socrates |
| | He was, however, interested in the question of the existence of God and formulated an argument from design which was afterwards known as the "Teleological Argument" for the existence of God. | | | Plato's portrayal of Socrates is idealistic; when, however, we correct it by reference to Xenophon's more practical view of Socrates' teaching, the result cannot be far from historic truth. | | | In the positive stage of the method, once the pupil had acknowledged his ignorance, Socrates would proceed to another series of questions, each of which would bring out some phase or aspect of the subject, so that when. |

| | Socrates - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Socrates |
| | For if Socrates exists, one will be true and the other false, but if he does not exist, both will be false; for neither 'Socrates is ill' nor 'Socrates is well' is true, if Socrates does not exist at all. | | | The Crito seems intended to exhibit the character of Socrates in one light only, not as the philosopher, fulfilling a divine mission and trusting in the will of heaven, but simply as the good citizen, who having been unjustly condemned is willing to give up his life in obedience to the laws of the state. | | | In his desire to combat the scepticism of the sophists, Socrates asserted the possibility of genuine knowledge. |
