Socrates was born in 470 BCE, Greece. He led a relatively uneventful life (as far as philosophy is concerned) until Chaerephon asked the oracle at Delphi if there was any man wiser than Socrates. The oracle replied that no one was wiser than him. Socrates spent the remainder of his life searching for someone wiser than himself. In his search Socrates conversed with both the high and low society of ancient Greece. Socrates used lines of simple questions and analogies to fully comprehend the subject at hand, often proving the lack of wisdom in his “wise” contemporaries.
Socrates gained numerous enemies from his conversation
