Скачать или смотреть Socrates

Socrates (469–399 BCE) was an Athenian philosopher who never wrote a single book, yet shaped the foundation of Western thought through public questioning and debate.
He challenged politicians, generals, and elites by exposing contradictions in their beliefs. This earned him influence among the youth — and enemies among the powerful.
In 399 BCE, the Athenian state charged him with “corrupting the youth” and “impiety.” The real threat was not religion — it was his refusal to flatter authority. A jury of citizens found him guilty and sentenced him to death by poison.
Socrates was given the chance to escape. He refused, choosing to die rather than submit to a state he believed was acting unjustly.
