@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus well, technically everyone who does not follow the rules is a loser. It is a lot more difficult to play by the rules and win.
Skepticism, questioning everything that you and others assume to be true, finding out what is good and virtuous, being a free thinker with an open mind... These are the great and important vaules which Socrates gave us. Let's not forget this.
Socrates' understanding of what is good and bad is also a good lesson, especially for the modern times. Nowadays, people think as though that everything is relative, the good is what is good for one, the bad is what is bad for another one ("one" refering to a person); what is good and bad isn't for us to decide.
I've always played devil's advocate with myself, to question everything I believe in. Socrates is by far my fav philosopher, the founder of true wisdom.
@@avyaktharakesh8065 Who is earth greatest philosopher during the era in which humanity was on the brink of existence? Plato, because of how he organized the earth. With just words he brings peace yet rest. He understands the body and how much it needs. The amount of earth we humans have is astounding. The fact we didn’t know was because of him. Without understanding of his philosophy of earth. Us humans would have thrived in 1800’s. That was when humanity was at its lowest. So the answer is Plato. He brings peace amongst all. The fact that the entire genearation doesn’t remember. We as humans know much more.that is how Plato is, the main reason us humans. We humans aren’t very humane in any way. Therefore Plato, provides the best philosophy for humanity.

Bro you're really the best. Lot of professor can't make a student like me get interested in this topic. You are the only one did. If someone like you could become my prof i would gladly listen to you even in a breaktime period
That's because being a professor is a JOB. At first they have "a calling to teach", start out fresh, and passionate to teach. Over time and experience; including the politics of the society, and the schools administration, they become jaded, and tired. It becomes just a job. Occaisionally, a student comes along or an environment conducive to teaching that allows them to become excited to teach again. Unfortunately for many that never occurs though. That's why many teachers experience a burn out.
I realized much later in my life that whenever I asked questions at my old job, they hated that. They had certain managerial systems set in place that I thought could have been changed or modified to better help everyone, yet they did not like that and I could even say they seemed somewhat threatened by my ideas. I was ostracized by the higher management team and was left confused by how they acted. I was always respectful and a good leader to my colleagues. Never understood that until I heard of Plato's apology, makes so much sense now. If I am wrong, I'm ok with that, let's work together to bring great ideas to improve our working environment. I encourage my new team and they all love it and have come up with some very good choices that better benefit us all. Love Philosophy. Lover of Wisdom

I have to do a research about philosophers so I can choose my favorite philosopher and I came across this video and now I'm crying, I can say now that Socrates is my favorite philosopher
Wow, I'm glad for you. Just remember him when you read Descartes, or Robespierre, or Marx. If you later choose to study psychology, those philosophers ideas will come up in Freud's, and Jung, & Erikson's works. Its helpful to remember that philosophies are opinions that eventually are fashioned into beliefs. They only hold deference as long as people agree with them. When people begin to base their lives on those belifes, it become a religion.
You made me shed a tear as I felt like it was the speech of a long known friend, sitting at the edge of time, wanting to pass me some wisdom through questions
I think what a lot of people miss about Socrates (even in his own day, both his followers and detractors) is that there's a difference between questioning for understanding and questioning for undermining. One leads to identifying and building a firm foundation while the other simply destroys foundations out of spite, malice, pride, or cynicism. If you ask a question, be ready for the answer and receive the answers objectively, patiently, skeptically, yet respectfully. If questioning becomes simply a sport of intellectually "owning" an opponent, nothing is being gained but destruction.
I have been where you are, you can never phrase a question properly to people with closed minds. You can never correct, ask questions or reason with a cynic no matter how diplomatic you are. They will become defensive and offensive no matter what you do and in the end you will cast away your diplomatic charade in frustration.
Congrats guys for this amazing animation. I'm very happy to see your interest about the most important greek philosopher. Bravo again, and bb from Greece! 😀
This video is so amazing. I read a lot of research about Socratic on the internet but still confusing. But since I watched this video I understood it. Thank for the video!
Dear Socrates, you are not dead. I'm teaching my daughter your values, while I questioned, I hope she will question and pursue the 'Truth'. You continue to inspire the thinkers...so you are live and kicking!
“Sadly, when the romans fell the world entered a long dark period.” Yes, if we do not include civilizations outside of europe and it’s surroundings, we can say that the world has entered a long dark period. Eastern civilizations undertook the task of producing ideas in that long dark period western civilization was in.
Well i just discovered this guy but what i liked about him he did something that made everyone think he was smart and wise and all he did was ask questions
I'm a big Socrates fan; I enjoy being a, "pain in the argument," if you will, but if I asked him if he knew his, "Daemon," the voice that had been helping from going too far since childhood, I think he might have admitted he did. It seems he actually had no choice; it was there. Respectfully

Knowledge did not stand still in the dark ages. Besides Aristotle, the most influential philosopher in western history was Thomas Aquinas in the 1200s.
You're actually right. A lot of historians refuse to use the phrase "dark ages" anymore. It's a bias started by a historian in the 1300s by the Tuscan scholar Petrarch. The enlightenment thinkers loved this story as well. But if you look at primary sources and pay attention to history you see it was actually just a gradual steady progression. There are other myths like that people in the medieval ages believed that the earth was flat. This simply isn't true. Most Christians in universities would have been able to tell you the earth was round and the approximate size. We should question cultural narratives more and rely on primary sources. You can see more here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Ages_%28historiography%29
You wrong mate. The call it dark ages not because there wasn’t knowledge but because we don’t have many artefacts or books. Of course they had knowledge. One reason that we don’t have is because of the volcano that destroyed the whole civilization in the area. If you only study the palace of Knossos you will understand they were in a level of Byzantium. Even in Stonehenge there are Ancient Greek letters that proves these people that you claim that they didn’t have knowledge helped them to build it
@@TylerDurden-cy5cs except you’re wrong lol. You’re talking about pre-historic times (I.e. Stone Age and early Bronze Age). Those ages you’re talking about occurred from 2.6 million years ago to about 3,000 BCE. The dark ages occurred in 476 CE to 1000 CE. Idk why you mixed up dark ages with the pre-historic ages, but now you know, I hope.
Socrates you are such a wise martyr and of course u surely need to be rewarded with free meals as you said. True wisdom is how little you know and I think the world can only be dynamic by asking Socratic questions.
I used to question everything as a kid then I realized no one had the answer to anything so I stopped questioning. He reminded me to wonder again and try to let others question as well. How weird it is how humans created a system where we aren't allowed to question things when we all should question everything.
The commentator says that “when the Roman Empire fell the The world entered a long dark period and knowledge stood still , then something wonderful happened the Renaissance” . This comment just skipped fast forward overlooking the great advancement of science and knowledge by safeguarding and developing Greek knowledge that formed the basis of European Renaissance ! This narration is a typical Eurocentric account that seeks to bury the contributions of other civilizations to advance humanity’s knowledge. Shame!
Nothing what so ever , stay on the surface the deeper you go the less you see . everyone has contribution , All I have come to realise is to love everything as best you can ,
We have thousands of politicians who know nothing but are so proud of it, they refuse to try and learn anything from asking questions. semi-quote from Will Rogers Making someone else THINK is almost impossible. Even showing them HOW to think is VERY hard (ie: not to "jump to conclusions" but to proceed logically and sensibly).
I imagine these men were pretty awkward in social situations. I've seen posts like "imagine having a drink with one these philosophers!" But I'd bet today you'd consider it fairly average or boring. Socrates said true wisdom is "knowing you do not know" and I think today that often represents itself as a person who has become too anxious to actually ask the question but figures it out in other innocuous ways, and there are plenty of people this way today. Not that they're owed anything for this, but you never know the wisdom you could learn from learn the socially awkward. Lol
I figure they would have to be awkward in social situations. If they weren't, they would be like everyone else and not stand out nor ask or even muse on the questions the philosophers of old did. I also think "knowing [what] you do not know" should be more important. For instance, to be able to ask what "virtue" or "love" means to someone. Those terms we assume we know but which are pretty nebulous to begin with.
Everyone who enjoyed this should check out Overly Sarcastic Productions here on UA-cam, particularly Blue's videos. He did a video about the trial of Socrates and talks about Greek History and Philosophy a LOOOOOOOOT. (I'm not affiliated with their channel at all, I just love them)
The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing. Thats wrong . Its a translation mistake. The correct one is i don't want to know what i already know and Socrates said that because he didn't want to know what Pythia said. That he is the wisest of all men. It's quite ridiculous to think that Socrates said that nobody knows anything.
“I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think”

Idk why you mixed up dark ages with the pre-historic ages, but now you know, I hope.
True wisdom comes to all of us when we realize how litte we understand about life,ourself,and the world around us........
We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our ass...
then things get worse.

very well done, keep it up
What a lovely video. Thank you.
Aww yiss subbing before ads blow this channel up
Incredible Clarity!
Imagine getting high with the old philosophers and just talking about whatever they analyzed so far
Ima cry, 1 of the best stories I've ever heard. I really start to remember the oracle of delphi story
just amazing
Socrates you are such a wise martyr and of course u surely need to be rewarded with free meals as you said. True wisdom is how little you know and I think the world can only be dynamic by asking Socratic questions.
You’re gonna be viral soon 6 months max
if it continues with this sort of quality, without a doubt, this channel will grow big
I used to question everything as a kid then I realized no one had the answer to anything so I stopped questioning. He reminded me to wonder again and try to let others question as well. How weird it is how humans created a system where we aren't allowed to question things when we all should question everything.

God(s) bless you Socrates, you deserved a better fate, (besides your unequalled legacy)
Beautifully made Bro. Very nice. M from Assam
Woah! I didn't know Socrates spoke in a Southern accent. The more you know I guess.
A wise men knows nothing.

‘’The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.’’ ~Socrates
Wow you truly change my mind and I starting ask about myself, why I am learning. what it is for. and how can I apply it.

I liked this presentation. It was presented in a very personal way.
if words can even explain how much I love socrates...where is this man in this century, dam lol. #ideal
That was great I'm shocked I'm really liked it and understood everything I have a new outlook on things
The commentator says that “when the Roman Empire fell the The world entered a long dark period and knowledge stood still , then something wonderful happened the Renaissance” . This comment just skipped fast forward overlooking the great advancement of science and knowledge by safeguarding and developing Greek knowledge that formed the basis of European Renaissance ! This narration is a typical Eurocentric account that seeks to bury the contributions of other civilizations to advance humanity’s knowledge. Shame!
And somehow, I still get emotional over the killing of a man thousands of years dead.
I found the same concept of knowledge in Analects by Confucious. I like this principle, because it prevents us from getting conceited of what we know.
I have great respect for this man.
Nothing what so ever , stay on the surface the deeper you go the less you see . everyone has contribution , All I have come to realise is to love everything as best you can ,
Ah yes, as evident by all the sources in the description. Oh wait
Hey Love you Socrates. Admiration
When Rome fell the Eastern Roman Empire still stood for hundreds of years.
facts!
We have thousands of politicians who know nothing but are so proud of it, they refuse to try and learn anything from asking questions. semi-quote from Will Rogers Making someone else THINK is almost impossible. Even showing them HOW to think is VERY hard (ie: not to "jump to conclusions" but to proceed logically and sensibly).
"I know nothing, I only know what I know" - Hanakawa
Thanks for the knowledge
I imagine these men were pretty awkward in social situations. I've seen posts like "imagine having a drink with one these philosophers!" But I'd bet today you'd consider it fairly average or boring. Socrates said true wisdom is "knowing you do not know" and I think today that often represents itself as a person who has become too anxious to actually ask the question but figures it out in other innocuous ways, and there are plenty of people this way today. Not that they're owed anything for this, but you never know the wisdom you could learn from learn the socially awkward. Lol
I figure they would have to be awkward in social situations. If they weren't, they would be like everyone else and not stand out nor ask or even muse on the questions the philosophers of old did.
I also think "knowing [what] you do not know" should be more important. For instance, to be able to ask what "virtue" or "love" means to someone. Those terms we assume we know but which are pretty nebulous to begin with.
love this video so much!!
Socrates in a nutshell:
Press x to doubt
Press x to question, not to doubt.
he died for his beliefs
i really inspired by Socrates
Everyone who enjoyed this should check out Overly Sarcastic Productions here on UA-cam, particularly Blue's videos. He did a video about the trial of Socrates and talks about Greek History and Philosophy a LOOOOOOOOT.
(I'm not affiliated with their channel at all, I just love them)
You realise how little you know about yourself when you start questioning why you think what you do
The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing. Thats wrong . Its a translation mistake. The correct one is i don't want to know what i already know and Socrates said that because he didn't want to know what Pythia said. That he is the wisest of all men. It's quite ridiculous to think that Socrates said that nobody knows anything.
I am your 15 th subscribe
Socrates in 2020 be like:
"did i ask"
LOL
