Socrates Center for Learning Vision Statement

Socrates the Man

Socrates was the Greek philospher credited as the founder of Western Philosophy and the Socratic Method, which utilizes questions to draw individual answers and fundamental insight into complex issues. Socrates believed the best way for people to live was to focus on self-development rather than the pursuit of material wealth. He encouraged others to try to concentrate more on friendships and a sense of true community, for Socrates felt this was the best way for people to grow together. The idea that humans possessed certain virtues formed a common thread in Socrates' teachings. These virtues represented the most important qualities for a person to have, foremost of which were the philosophical or intellectual virtues used in the search of Good.
