99 BCE) golden age Greece. He never wrote any philosophical works. He conducted philosophy by holding conversation with anyone who would talk with him. When he was youth he had performed with three great battles against the ever-present army and navy of Persia. After aged, he was not fit for any further service to Athens. So in this case we are interviewing Socrates as philosophy man.

First of all, can you explain what is virtue? And why Socrates was asking many questions why? In Socrates notion the virtue is the person who know the truth, acquired through personal struggle for self – enlightenment, will not commit evil deeds. For example, Kindness, Honesty, Courage, and Diligence. All of the above and more, we should cultivate this inside us. Moreover, the purpose of asking questioning, is to challenge accuracy and completeness of thinking in a way that acts to move people towards their ultimate goal.

Second question, what is justice? And what is the effectively in Socrates city? Socrates is not looking for the definition of justice I’m looking for what the nature of justice itself is. Anyway, justice is the idea that people should get what they deserve. I was worried that injustices not be done in particular also I was worry that people be treated according to the law and not according to the whims or desires of leaders or people in general. However, the effective was a city that not only failed to illustrate how justice was profitable in itself and correlated with happiness, but actually proved the precise view of justice as a sacrificial act that it was constructed to disprove.

However, do you know Plato? Yes, Plato was one of my famous students. Also, he was philosophy of the fountainhead of western idealism. He almost like me he emphasized the immortal and immutable psyche over the mortal and changeful body. Nonetheless, Plato thought that though a set of mental exercises the psyche would be able to recall the ideas to which it had once been exposed. Also, Plato wrote up much what he knows about me.

In sum, Socrates was one of the greatest educators who taught by asking questions. In addition, many teachers in Greece and Rome adapted the Socrates method, and it remains an honored pedagogical device. Finally, he felt that man is good in nature but can produce wrong. For example, “Socrates believed that to do wrong is to damage one’s soul, and that is the worst thing one can do”(Grolier). From this he said it possible to get the wrong, but more importantly, are not to repeat the same wrong things.

Professor’s Comments:

Socrates is a great choice to interview. Unfortunately, the journal needs much more work to create grammatical sentences and make Socrates’ answers seem his own. You need to use quotation marks when you quote from an outside source so that we can distinguish between your words and others’.
