Socrates (470–399 BCE) was a remarkable Greek philosopher who was admired for his
honesty and his public-speaking skills. He taught his many followers how to think with logic,
rather than emotion. He also encouraged them to question the morals and order of society,
which resulted in change.

This reveals that the ancient Greeks valued knowledge and their rights in society, such as
freedom of speech and democracy.

Socrates teachings have resonated over time in many ways. For example, our legal system is
based on fact, fairness and reason. To this day, Socrates is remembered as the founding
father of Western philosophy.
