Why was Socrates was respectfuled in Athens?
Socrates was one of the most greatest Ancient Greecek philosophers and laid the groundwork for the Western system of logic and philosophy by creating a new style of conversation known as the Socratic Method – where he did not shared knowledge with his students, but askinged them questions until they would finally understand the topic of conversation.
A famous image of a wise old man with a beard, a stuff, and a mantle who educates students around him is completely incongruous with Socrates as he was a great warrior and was respectfuled among Athenians for his fearlessness and physical strength – one time Socrates alone threatened and kicked away the entire enemy cavalry by showing even from afar that he canould put up a strong enough defence when other members of the Athenian troops cowardly ran away for their lives. Socrates was a warrior philosopher who considered military service as a very important part of life and thought that war was joyful and even good in certain cases.
