Welcome to an extensive and fascinating collection of materials dedicated to the life and teachings of Socrates, one of the most influential philosophers of antiquity. Born in Athens in the 5th century BCE, Socrates became a symbol of philosophical reflection and a critical approach to knowledge. His unique method of seeking truth, known as the Socratic method, involved dialogues, questions, and discussions, encouraging interlocutors to deeply analyze their beliefs.

In this collection, you will find materials concerning various aspects of Socrates' life: his teachings, life circumstances, influence on subsequent philosophers, and his place in history. He left no written works, and his thoughts were captured in the writings of his students, such as Plato, which adds uniqueness to the understanding of his philosophy through the lens of other minds. You will see how Socrates opposed the social norms of his time, challenged established viewpoints, and pursued an endless quest for truth.

Explore the historical contexts in which Socrates lived, including the political and cultural conditions of ancient Athens. The collection also highlights the formation of the foundations of ethics and moral philosophy, which were further developed in the works of philosophers in subsequent eras. Studying Socrates allows for a deeper understanding of philosophical traditions and the science of human nature, which remains relevant even today.

Prepare to immerse yourself in a world of ideas that shaped not only ancient Greek philosophy but also the entire subsequent development of the Western intellectual tradition. We hope that your encounter with the profession of Socrates will be a source of inspiration and new reflections on the most important questions of life.
