I wouldn't take away the brilliance of Socrates, but he was a decadent just like the rest of the greeks who destroyed Dionysian tragedy in the name of sober Apollonian reason. His whole life was a sickness -- just as he alluded to before dying.
Socrates and Euthyphro both agree that is true, but Socrates argues that if is also true and something is pious because the gods love it then and together would yield a self-perpetuating cycle in which the gods love the pious because it is the pious and the pious are only pious because the gods love
The Euthyphro dilemma arises when Socrates asks Euthyphro, “Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?” In other words, do the gods love something because it is pious or is something pious because the gods love it?
We live in a society that evaluates people based on their social class. The more money someone has the more we value that person as the wisest and the most successful man. We identify social class with wealth when wealth is a variable value. peoplebreeze com
Which translate that Bernie Madoff whom at one time was a man of class, without the money his no longer a man of class, as if success can only be evaluated through financial means? There is only one stable variable that is consistent among mankind irrespective to their social status, and that is their level of consciousness of the world. peoplebreeze com
@craigpsimpson Even Socrates himself spoke of the unaccountable; the 'soul.' He spoke as if ethics - moral codes, piety, virtue - were all universal truths, even after admitting he could never actually define it. Therefore, if you state he is wisest of all, and the religious are the ignorant because they hold unaccountable truths as factual, you have made a fool of yourself.
@craigpsimpson Who here is refuting the Socratic method? I simply stated that you yourself are ignorant for thinking this man had no equal in the ways of metaphysics when such a study cannot be proven more or less true by anyone because none of us can ever know. Socrates himself believed this.
It must be that your brain is processing so far above the average that you cannot understand how no human being, philosopher or otherwise, could ever, or will ever, be able to define the undefinable.
@GIvanov I was talking about the Socratic method, not metaphysics. Of course nobody can define the indefinable, this is tautologous. It is also not the basis for any system of metaphysics.
@craigpsimpson My friend, it is laudable that you continue unaware of the point I make to you. Tell me, if nothing is known on the matters of the divine, even if someone supposes he knows nothing and he does not, does that alone mean he is more wise in the truth of the subject, or does it mean he only accepts his lack of knowledge?
!) there is no proof socrates believed in God or not
2) plato believe in God
3) aristotle believed in God
so these philosophers u idolize believed in God altho the case of socrates is more arguable .. anyways religion is philosophy and philosophy is religion so when you say religion is ignorant you are showing your own ignorance because u can never be sure religion is wrong and lets argue tht it is ... then life is short if u dont believe in afterlife so stop wasting ur time
@4Shia One of the reasons Socrates was executed was because he didn't believe in the Greek Gods...who knows what Plato and Aristotle actually believed. They didn't want to die.
@KayBeeEee1983 of course he didnt he was too intelligent to worship humans made like him .. even if he met christ he wouldnt become christian since jesus was human .. i am saying there is no proof he didnt believe in God as for the other to (plato and aristotle) they have many quotes which show they believed in god
@4Shia I didn't say anything about him worshiping humans. Plato and Aristotle said they believed in God because they didn't want to die. I said this stuff already. Can you read?
@KayBeeEee1983 i can read but i cant understand nonsense .. what you said is no more than an ignorant opinion its not a fact for me to believe it when on the other hand i have stronger proof since they said they believe in God and to prove they werent afraid of their governments the Gods they believed in wasnt the gods followed by the government of their time
@4Shia All three cases are arguable - the divine is a significantly limited entity in the works of Plato and Aristotle, more conceptual than interpersonal or interventionist, when it appears at all. There was certainly no singular noun involved in the decription of the divine.
Philosophy is not religion, and you should feel deep intellectual shame for equating the two spheres of thought. The positive claim for the existence of god is beyond falsification, therefore innane.
@evanlikestoparty So what about the Dorian and Phrygian Modes? I actually like Socrates... your reasoning really is not well defined and your calling me a "kid" to say that I have kid-like intelligence? Seems like that is an ad-hominem argument and arrogant. Point out at least one thing that is truly wrong about his philosophy of ethics and I will agree with you. Though there really isn't due to his love of knowledge and wisdom.
@evanlikestoparty Will you give reasons rather than to mock the greatest philosopher of all time? Socrates was a great person who had both honor and intelligence. Philosophy was just starting to increase tenfold from the poems that were written before then. Now, as to his "tainted" sense of morality... how is his morality tainted? I do not see anything wrong with believing in knowledge to be at the head of morality.
socrates ia a fake character created by plato, also known as aristotle. Socrates "life and death" is where the story of Jesus crucifixion in the bible came from, all written and created by plato
It is too bad we did not turn his wisdom in to a religion. Humility is more than a virtue it is a saving grace. They declared him insane....listening to one's heart always has been...and still is being eradicated.one by one and in groups ...Buddha, Jesus, Cathars, Templars, millions of Women who loved the Earth burned and other martyrs like, Lincoln, Ghandi, MLKing, ahh Kennedy, Lennon and how many other unsung heros.

He is very respectable. He also came up in my book "The Examined Life." It was very entertaining. The person said that love is something wanting to a man but he has not and that love is beautiful. Socrates then said then love was beauty but it has not. It nearly killed me. I "love" him =D
@charlesdarwin321 Weird because I swear the bible says the opposite. Forbidden fruit of knowledge = evil whereas when they were ignorant they were pure and good. Am I seeing this all wrong?

@armen07aa to be fair, there were many gods of philosophy. Decarte, Aristotle, Plato, Locke. They all contributed to the foundation of western philosophy.
I'm trying to find a quote possibly by Epicurus. It's something like: "You cannot convince a man of that which he believes he already knows." Again, something like that. I'm pretty sure it's by a famous philosopher, who's name started with an E and I believe he was Greek. Thank you!!!
Socrates couldn’t read or write? This is laughable. He had a school and taught, it is what he taught that got him killed. And it was by a peer group of 500 fellow politicians’ lawyers and judges who wanted to silence Socrates WHY? Because what he witnessed what he discovered was what keeps you to this day imprisoned, and you still don’t know. So they offered him Hemlock, and REMOVED all his writings from the PUBLIC.
@IlluminMindWorksWell Either you have a greater grasp on history than the books that bare it or you're incorrect. Many times he defending himself by saying that he was not a teacher. The first 'school' of Philosophy was the Academy of Plato. You seem to be confused.
Speaking of imbecility and governments; there have been and are horrible eugenic programs aimed at "bettering" the general intelligence; am sure Wikileak will reveal the details. What the so-called eminences from those programs don't know is that intelligence and anything mental does not reside in genes. Some 120 years or so ago, phrenology was considered preponderant to intelligence; they now know that it is not so; soon they will discover that genes are not directly related to intelligence.
Not only the government of the time wanted to get rid of Socrates, but so did many people outside of it; the former were as a generality malicious, the latter simply ignorant (Ignorance really means not knowing how to know) The malicious government obviously did not a person who had the ability to awaken the masses. And the mentioned ignorant were simply trying to get rid of the man who was lovingly helping them, although they were not stupid, they were imbecile (They prejudged Socrates)
Although mainstays in European philosophy, they demarcate categories for which there are no precise, noncontroversial synonyms.
The aztecs: "tlamatinime" (“knowers of things,” “sages,” “philosophers;” tlamatini [singular]) do not appear to have analyzed philosophical thought in these terms. Rather, they conceived metaphysics, epistemology, theory of value, and aesthetics in conceptually overlapping if not equivalent terms.
@MonaghanMan3000 You are right because there is no defintion to what we are doing to base any forn of guidence based upon the nature of transgression in how it affects intelligence, there is a bubble growing which is easy to see today on the internet with so much confusion in the world, philosophy needs to be replaced with a less repugnant words like the physical truth, pretended knowledge is a consuming factor that leads to rhetoric,
@MonaghanMan3000 thats true. democracy is the most evil of all systems that seperates people from each other morally and instead just like it is in the US it brings globalization which is extremely terrible and dangerous to future races if there are any left
@UnaFatsaUnaRasta22 Jefferson was nothing what Socrates proposed. He was arrogant and a slave owner. Socrates didnt even believe in materialism while Jefferson was a land owner. Also Socrates never agreed with democracy.
Becoming more morally perfect. Some people say that asking questions without answers is useless, but what if asking the question itself leads to moral thoughts? What DOES it mean to be a good person? What does it mean to YOU?
just so you know there is a possibility that socrates never existed and it was just the literary make up of plato...if you can doubt it don't believe a philosopher once said
@chilidog1001 Which philospher, also isnt that statement a paradox? If i truly followed the idea of "if you can doubt it dont believe it" not only would it lead me to not believe anything in existance it seems it would also call on me not to follow that quote as it being the word of men could also be doubted.
@XXGDUBSXX that was the whole point of the statement. im learning it in philosophy that everything can be fake and senses can deceive us. the only thing you know for sure is yourself because without yourself these thoughts cannot be
Yes but the diffrence is, is that belief is all we have so I would say "If it could be false dont claim it as fact" you can still believe it, simply dont behave like you "know" more than other people do.
@paoklemere There were many black Greeks stupid brainwashed cracker. Look at his picture, even looks like a black or brown man. Even Egyptians, they were brown skin not white like the media trys to teach you dumb asses. Look at Socrates nose hair and face structure dumb fuck. History is written by the winners.
@TrueGreatness73 What sense do you make silly? You are the one saying socrates was black LOLMAO... If you said that to a college professor he'd laugh in your face, Make some sense out of that.
There are some statements that are misleading or incorrect in this video. The next time I watch it with my 101 students I will note them and post them here. For one thing, it's Aesclepius, not Aesceplius.
Because Socrates didn't write his works,that doesn't mean that he could not write and read!...He was an expert in Philosophy , pedagogy,epistemology, logic,and more!...How could he do that without education,and not knowing how to write and read?....Distortion of the truth is a crime!
@nixter888 And i believe he learned through conversation you say there distorting the truth by saying he couldnt write what if he couldnt, then it would be you distorting the truth and claiming to know something you couldnt possibly know.
@XXGDUBSXX OF COURSE IT'S LOGICAL!!!!Do you know many people who don't write and read ,to be experts in pedagogy,epistemology, logic,philosophy?...I don't think so!
@nixter888 I know nothing except perhaps the awareness of my own ignorance. If a man is a philospher and he discusses the important matters of life I dont believe it is an absolute that a man need to read or write to understand and express his philosophicle views on life and the soul. Also keep in mind i didnt say he couldnt write i said i do not know whether he did or did not but im not going to accept your word as truth just because you believe you are right.
@XXGDUBSXX what i said was ,..since there is not mention if he could write or read,it's only natural to think that it's more likely that he did, since he was all these things i mention before!
@nixter888 As I said I do not know whether he could read or write. My concern was that I believed that your claim that the video's statement that Socrates couldnt read or write was a distortion of the truth, when in truth i do not believe you know the truth on whether Socrates could read or write but only speculate that he did. So if you do not know the truth, then how could you claim the statement as a distortion of truth?
Plato and aristotle killed the scientific method. Democritus and the Ionian philosophers/scientists kick ass. I like socrates alot. Plato is ok and i dont like aristotle because he was an aristocratic a hole. but that's my not too well educated opinion
It is funny when i see critics of socrates when in my mind if they were to meet him he could show them why they truly felt the need to attack his views and even his very existence. It most likely comes from them not taking the time to learn about his views or the lack of awarness they have on their own ignorance but i also dont discourage such criticisms it is just i dont understand why critics ask questions when in truth it doesnt seem like they want to know the awnser.
@socratus1 If God works in an Absolute Reference Frame he knows exactly what will happen in the future no matter what he choses so he has no free will to twist the outcomes because he already knows what will happen even if he intervenes and the world is entirely deterministic. But that isn't an argument for or against God but an argument for our limitations. God doesn't exist for his properties are unknowable and anything without properties cannot exist. Agnosticism is the only rational belief.

Plato & Homer were his students. It was was the information "what he was teaching" that is still a secret "to this day".
The context in which he made that statement had a hidden meaning; he also claimed to be "ignorant" when in fact he was very "WISE".
Rough Quote” I am now wise enough to understand how ignorant I am. And this pertains to what he witnessed.
I assure you 100% with no doubt whatsoever he could read and write better than you or I. Plato & Homer wrote in code I call
WORD MASTER

Homer could not be his pupil. He lived 300 years before Socrates was born.

Socrates couldn’t read or write? This is laughable. He had a school and taught, it is what he taught that got him killed. And it was by a peer group of 500 fellow politicians’ lawyers and judges who wanted to silence Socrates WHY? Because what he witnessed what he discovered was what keeps you to this day imprisoned, and you still don’t know. So they offered him Hemlock, and REMOVED all his writings from the PUBLIC.
Socrates wrote and read quite well.
Plato wrote in code I call it "word master"

@IlluminMindWorksWell Either you have a greater grasp on history than the books that bare it or you're incorrect. Many times he defending himself by saying that he was not a teacher. The first 'school' of Philosophy was the Academy of Plato. You seem to be confused.

Speaking of imbecility and governments; there have been and are horrible eugenic programs aimed at "bettering" the general intelligence; am sure Wikileak will reveal the details. What the so-called eminences from those programs don't know is that intelligence and anything mental does not reside in genes. Some 120 years or so ago, phrenology was considered preponderant to intelligence; they now know that it is not so; soon they will discover that genes are not directly related to intelligence.

Not only the government of the time wanted to get rid of Socrates, but so did many people outside of it; the former were as a generality malicious, the latter simply ignorant (Ignorance really means not knowing how to know) The malicious government obviously did not a person who had the ability to awaken the masses. And the mentioned ignorant were simply trying to get rid of the man who was lovingly helping them, although they were not stupid, they were imbecile (They prejudged Socrates)

Although mainstays in European philosophy, they demarcate categories for which there are no precise, noncontroversial synonyms.
The aztecs: "tlamatinime" (“knowers of things,” “sages,” “philosophers;” tlamatini [singular]) do not appear to have analyzed philosophical thought in these terms. Rather, they conceived metaphysics, epistemology, theory of value, and aesthetics in conceptually overlapping if not equivalent terms.

@MonaghanMan3000 You are right because there is no defintion to what we are doing to base any forn of guidence based upon the nature of transgression in how it affects intelligence, there is a bubble growing which is easy to see today on the internet with so much confusion in the world, philosophy needs to be replaced with a less repugnant words like the physical truth, pretended knowledge is a consuming factor that leads to rhetoric,

@MonaghanMan3000 thats true. democracy is the most evil of all systems that seperates people from each other morally and instead just like it is in the US it brings globalization which is extremely terrible and dangerous to future races if there are any left

The Oracle did NOT announce that Socrates was 'the wisest man' in Greece.
It said 'there is none wiser'.
Which was kind of the point of Socrates' teaching - everyone else could be as wise as him with some guidance, or something like that.

@chilidog1001 Which philospher, also isnt that statement a paradox? If i truly followed the idea of "if you can doubt it dont believe it" not only would it lead me to not believe anything in existance it seems it would also call on me not to follow that quote as it being the word of men could also be doubted.

@XXGDUBSXX that was the whole point of the statement. im learning it in philosophy that everything can be fake and senses can deceive us. the only thing you know for sure is yourself because without yourself these thoughts cannot be

@chilidog1001 "I think therefore I am"
Yes but the diffrence is, is that belief is all we have so I would say "If it could be false dont claim it as fact" you can still believe it, simply dont behave like you "know" more than other people do.

Because Socrates didn't write his works,that doesn't mean that he could not write and read!...He was an expert in Philosophy , pedagogy,epistemology, logic,and more!...How could he do that without education,and not knowing how to write and read?....Distortion of the truth is a crime!
nixter888 1 year ago
@nixter888 And i believe he learned through conversation you say there distorting the truth by saying he couldnt write what if he couldnt, then it would be you distorting the truth and claiming to know something you couldnt possibly know.
XXGDUBSXX 1 year ago
It's more logical to say that he did know how to write and read,...since no one ever wrote anything about that!...

XXGDUBSXX 1 year ago
@XXGDUBSXX OF COURSE IT'S LOGICAL!!!!Do you know many people who don't write and read ,to be experts in pedagogy,epistemology, logic,philosophy?...I don't think so!
nixter888 1 year ago
@nixter888 I know nothing except perhaps the awareness of my own ignorance. If a man is a philospher and he discusses the important matters of life I dont believe it is an absolute that a man need to read or write to understand and express his philosophicle views on life and the soul. Also keep in mind i didnt say he couldnt write i said i do not know whether he did or did not but im not going to accept your word as truth just because you believe you are right.
XXGDUBSXX 1 year ago
@XXGDUBSXX what i said was ,..since there is not mention if he could write or read,it's only natural to think that it's more likely that he did, since he was all these things i mention before!
nixter888 1 year ago
@nixter888 As I said I do not know whether he could read or write. My concern was that I believed that your claim that the video's statement that Socrates couldnt read or write was a distortion of the truth, when in truth i do not believe you know the truth on whether Socrates could read or write but only speculate that he did. So if you do not know the truth, then how could you claim the statement as a distortion of truth?
XXGDUBSXX 1 year ago
@nixter888 Of course you can disagree but you claimed to "know" what the truth was by saying that the statement made in the video was false.

Plato and aristotle killed the scientific method. Democritus and the Ionian philosophers/scientists kick ass. I like socrates alot. Plato is ok and i dont like aristotle because he was an aristocratic a hole. but that's my not too well educated opinion
Zachdudeio2 1 year ago
It is funny when i see critics of socrates when in my mind if they were to meet him he could show them why they truly felt the need to attack his views and even his very existence. It most likely comes from them not taking the time to learn about his views or the lack of awarness they have on their own ignorance but i also dont discourage such criticisms it is just i dont understand why critics ask questions when in truth it doesnt seem like they want to know the awnser.

Can a Rational Individual believe in God ?
In other words:
Can God be atheist, governed by scientific laws?
Of course
Because, if God exists, he must work in Absolute
Reference Frame and have a set of Physical/ Mathematical laws to create everything
And if we find this God’s Absolute House then we can understand Cod’s Physical Laws
Israel Socratus
socratus1 1 year ago
@socratus1 If God works in an Absolute Reference Frame he knows exactly what will happen in the future no matter what he choses so he has no free will to twist the outcomes because he already knows what will happen even if he intervenes and the world is entirely deterministic. But that isn't an argument for or against God but an argument for our limitations. God doesn't exist for his properties are unknowable and anything without properties cannot exist. Agnosticism is the only rational belief.
