Socrates was a Greek philosopher who lived in Athens from 469/470 BCE to 399 BCE. Unlike some of his predecessors, Socrates did not write down his own philosophical ideas, but instead engaged in conversations with his fellow Athenians, challenging their beliefs and assumptions through a method of questioning known as the Socratic method.

Socrates was known for his strong commitment to truth and justice, and his philosophy emphasized the importance of moral and intellectual self-improvement.

He was ultimately sentenced to death by drinking poison for "corrupting the youth" and "not recognizing the gods recognized by the state," but his ideas and teachings have had a lasting impact on philosophy and continue to be studied and debated to this day.
