SOCRATES (470-399 BC): ARGUABLY THE MOST WIDELY RECOGNIZED "FATHER OF PHILOSOPHY," SOCRATES LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR WESTERN PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRY THROUGH HIS FOCUS ON ETHICAL QUESTIONS AND HIS METHOD OF CRITICAL DIALOGUE KNOWN AS THE SOCRATIC METHOD. HIS INFLUENCE ON HIS STUDENTS, PARTICULARLY PLATO AND ARISTOTLE, WAS PROFOUND, SHAPING THE COURSE OF WESTERN THOUGHT FOR CENTURIES.

[Brahmadaitya]

SOCRATES IS CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE THE FOUNDING FATHER OF WESTERN PHILOSOPHY—AS WELL AS ONE OF THE MOST ENIGMATIC FIGURES OF ANCIENT HISTORY. hE WROTE NOTHING HIMSELF, SO ALL KNOWLEDGE OF THE GREEK PHILOSOPHER HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN THROUGH THE WRITINGS OF HIS CONTEMPORARIES AND HIS STUDENTS, PRIMARILY HIS STAR PUPIL, PLATO.

SCHOLARS STILL GRAPPLE WITH “THE SOCRATIC PROBLEM”: HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE HISTORICAL SOCRATES FROM THE INDIVIDUAL PORTRAYED AND INTERPRETED BY VARIOUS AUTHORS THROUGH THE AGES. bUT AS ANY LAW STUDENT WILL ATTEST, HIS INTERROGATIVE “SOCRATIC METHOD” OF TEACHING IS AS ALIVE AND WELL TODAY AS IT WAS WHEN THE GREAT THINKER QUESTIONED EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IN ATHENS IN THE FIFTH CENTURY
