The Oracle at Delphi

Socrates’ response to Delphi 1. Questions a man with a high reputation for wisdom [Ethics- what is a good person? What is a fair society? How should I live? What is courage? What is honesty?] Socrates, “I was wiser than this man, in one respect. He thought he knew, whereas I know that I don’t know.” Ignorance – Thinking you know, when you don’t. Wisdom – Knowing that you don’t know.

The Socratic Mission The Unexamined Life is not worth living!
