Socrates
Socrate (in greco antico: Σωκράτης?, Sōkrátēs, pronuncia: [sɔːkrátɛːs]; Atene, 470 a.C./469 a.C. – Atene, 399 a.C.) è stato un filosofo greco antico, uno dei più importanti esponenti della tradizione filosofica occidentale. Il contributo più importante che egli ha dato alla storia del pensiero filosofico consiste nel suo metodo d'indagine: il dialogo che utilizzava lo strumento critico dell'elenchos (ἔλεγχος, élenchos = "confutazione") applicandolo prevalentemente all'esame in comune (ἐξετάζειν, exetàzein) di concetti morali fondamentali. Per questo Socrate è riconosciuto come padre fondatore dell'etica o filosofia morale. È considerato il vero padre della filosofia occidentale. Leggi di più su Wikipedia
