In this first episode of "Sleep with Philosophy" we delve into the enigmatic world of Socrates, the luminary who laid the foundations of Western philosophy. Born in 469 BC, Socrates became a symbol of wisdom and virtue, living in Athens during an epoch of profound transformation. Who was this man who walked barefoot through the marketplaces, engaging anyone who would listen in deep philosophical discussions? We shall explore Socrates' revolutionary ideas and unique method of inquiry known as the Socratic Method. How did this radical approach to learning democratize knowledge and challenge the authority of the elites? How did it stimulate critical thinking, self-reflection, and intellectual humility, laying the groundwork for contemporary pedagogy?
Socrates once said that the unexamined life was not worth living. This episode invites you to reflect on his profound philosophy and its impact on our understanding of knowledge, morality, and existence. Join us as we explore the life, ideas, and legacy of a man who, through courage, integrity, and unwavering commitment, continues to inspire and challenge us to this day.
The story of Socrates is more than just a history lesson; it's a guide urging us to question, reflect, and live an examined life.
