Who was Socrates and what did he do?

Answer 1

He is one of the most mentioned and important philosophers in Western Philosophy, who spent his life asking people at the market zone about life questions, such as What is virtue? He realized he knew nothing at all, whereas his usual interlocutors thought they knew everything! And that made him wiser and smarter above all. He was also a soldier and is said that once the other soldiers were fighting in a battle and he stood there thinking so deep that he spent the whole day on his feet staring and thinking, without moving or talking to anyone. He was later prosecuted of corrupting young men and was given poison.
