Socrates (Greek: Σωκράτης, Ancient Greek pronunciation: [sɔːˈkratɛːs], Sōkrátēs; c. 469 BC--399 BC,[1] pronounced /ˈsɒkrətiːz/ in English) was a classical Greek Athenian philosopher. Credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, he is an enigmatic figure known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, especially the writings of his students Plato and Xenophon, and the plays of his contemporary Aristophanes. Many would claim that Plato's dialogues are the most comprehensive accounts of Socrates to survive from antiquity.[2]

Through his portrayal in Plato's dialogues, Socrates has become renowned for his contribution to the field of ethics, and it is this Platonic Socrates who also lends his name to the concepts of Socratic irony and the Socratic method, or elenchus. The latter remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions, and is a type of pedagogy in which a series of questions are asked not only to draw individual answers, but also to encourage fundamental insight into the issue at hand. It is Plato's Socrates that also made important and lasting contributions to the fields of epistemology and logic, and the influence of his ideas and approach remains strong in providing a foundation for much western philosophy that followed.

As one recent commentator has put it, Plato, the idealist, offers "an idol, a master figure, for philosophy. A Saint, a prophet of the 'Sun-God', a teacher condemned for his teachings as a heretic."[3]

@cvstiana

Moreover, "I am not an Athenian or a Greek but a citizen of the world" is a quote from Diogenes of Sinope.

[EliteDoomer]

@Anaklusmos76 The first four seconds display the title which contains no quotations by Socrates and thus is still valid.

@Anaklusmos76

But the time flows different for all the observers ;)

@commando2224 You can play games that require a great deal of thought, like chess. The goal is to push your self past your limits. You have to tell you brain that you need more power and it will give it to you.

.

.

Other brain games, puzzles or activity: Sudoku, cross word puzzles, learning an instrument, leaning a new language, even reading books that are difficult to understand ( philosophy?).

Fined something thats challenging and that you enjoy. If you dont enjoy it, you wont do it.
