Socrates adds that the opposite school of thought, that teaches of the " immovable whole " is just as hard to talk to ( 181a, b ).

" Nevertheless, Socrates adds that he chose her precisely because of her argumentative spirit:

He adds that if Socrates is afraid of depleting Crito's account, there are foreigners ( ξένος ), Simmias and Cebes, who have come to town with money.

Socrates adds that he has heard this myth, believes it, and infers from it that death is the separation of body and soul.

He befriends a colony of rats, especially a white rat named Socrates and a big rat named Ben.

At the end of his speech, Socrates admits to Theodorus that if Protagoras were alive to defend his idea, he would have done a far better job than Socrates has just done.

In 1954 he met Löwith and Gadamer in Heidelberg and delivered a public speech on Socrates.

Socrates in his speech asserts that the highest purpose of love is to become a philosopher or, literally, a lover of wisdom.

* Phaedrus ( speech begins 178a ): was an Athenian aristocrat associated with the inner-circle of the philosopher Socrates, familiar from Phaedrus and other dialogues.

* Socrates ( speech begins 201d ): the eminent philosopher and Plato's teacher.

His speech may be regarded as self-consciously poetic, gently mocked by Socrates.

Socrates turns politely to Agathon and with Agathon's cooperation examines his speech.

Agathon answers affirmatively to Socrates ' line of questioning, thus refuting many of the statements in his previous speech ( 199d ).

In his speech, Alcibiades goes on to detail the virtue of Socrates, his incomparable valor in battle, his immunity to cold or fear.

Despite this speech, Agathon then lies down next to Socrates, much to the chagrin of Alcibiades.

To deliver an apologia meant making a formal speech or giving an explanation to reply and rebut the charges, as in the case of Socrates ' defense.

Early uses of the term ( in the first sense ) include Plato's Apology ( the defense speech of Socrates from his trial ) and some works of early Christian apologists, such as St. Justin Martyr's two Apologies addressed to the emperor Antoninus Pius and the Roman Senate.

Six Athenian friends, including Socrates, drink wine and each give a speech praising the deity Eros.

In the final speech before Alcibiades arrives, Socrates gives his encomium of love and desire as a lack of being, namely, the being or form of beauty.

Of particular importance is the speech of Socrates, relating the ideas attributed to the prophetess Diotima, which present love as a means of ascent to contemplation of the divine.

In the Phaedrus, Plato has Socrates examine a speech by Lysias to determine whether or not it is praiseworthy.

Further, Plato's Phaedrus opens with Phaedrus coming from conversation with Lysias at the house of Epicrates of Athens: he meets Socrates, with whom he will read and discuss the speech of Lysias he heard.

It is a typical moment of Socrates opposite a Sophist where the latter is using eloquent speech to hide arguments that might not stand logical scrutiny while the former is trying to use his notorious question / answer format that will lead to a logical conclusion in his favour.

The Apology is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defended himself in 399 BC against the charges of " corrupting the young, and by not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other daimonia that are novel " ( 24b ).

Except for two brief exchanges with Meletus ( at 24d-25d and 26b-27d ), where the monologue becomes a dialogue, the text is written in the first person from Socrates ' point of view, as though it were Socrates ' actual speech at the trial.

During the course of the speech, Socrates twice mentions Plato as being present ( at 34a and 38b ).

Others have concluded from this that Socrates ' speech angered the jury.

When Plato gave Socrates ' definition of man as " featherless bipeds " and was much praised for the definition, Diogenes plucked a chicken and brought it into Plato's Academy, saying, " Behold!

Wondering why everyone seems sober, Alcibiades is informed of the night's agreement ( 213e, c ); after saying his drunken ramblings should not be placed next to the sober orations of the rest, and that he hopes no one believed a word Socrates said, Alcibiades proposes to offer an encomium to Socrates ( 214c-e ).

Plato's Phaedo records Socrates saying that, although swans sing in early life, they do not do so as beautifully as before they die.

Socrates rebuffs the report, saying he has had a dream-a vision of a woman in a white cloak telling him that on the third day hence he will go to Phthia, which is a reference to Achilles ' threat in the Iliad that he — the mightiest of Greek warriors — might just leave for his home in " fertile " Phthia and be there in " just three days " if the Greeks fail to show him due respect.

Therefore Socrates tried to argue him out of it, saying that it was degrading for a free man and ill became someone " beautiful in body and mind " to importune, moreover for nothing good, his beloved to whom he should be a shining example.

The Apology begins with Socrates saying he does not know if the men of Athens ( his jury ) have been persuaded by his accusers.

Socrates then admits that he thought both of the preceding speeches were terrible, saying Lysias ' repeated itself numerous times, seemed uninterested in its subject, and seemed to be showing off.

Socrates says he is in love with Alcibiades and philosophy, and cannot stop his beloveds from saying what is on their minds.

Then, he berates Socrates for wasting time in frivolous philosophy, saying there is no harm in young people engaging in useless banter, but that it is unattractive in older men.

He tells Socrates that he is disgraceful, and that if anyone should seize him and carry him off to prison, he would be helpless to defend himself, saying that Socrates would reel and gape in front of a jury, and end up being put to death ( 486a, b ).

He interrupts Socrates to point this out, saying:

[...] Socrates, sitting up on the couch, bent and rubbed his leg, saying, as he was rubbing: " How singular is the thing called pleasure, and how curiously related to pain, which might be thought to be the opposite of it ; [...] Why, because each pleasure and pain is a sort of nail which nails and rivets the soul to the body [...] I am not very likely to persuade other men that I do not regard my present situation as a misfortune, if I cannot even persuade you that I am no worse off now than at any other time in my life.

Soon the jailer, who was the servant of the Eleven, entered and stood by him, saying: " To you, Socrates, whom I know to be the noblest and gentlest and best of all who ever came to this place, I will not impute the angry feelings of other men, who rage and swear at me, when, in obedience to the authorities, I bid them drink the poison -- indeed, I am sure that you will not be angry with me ; for others, as you are aware, and not I, are to blame.

Universal Instantiation and Existential generalization are two aspects of a single principle, for instead of saying that '( x ( x = x )' implies ' Socrates is Socrates ', we could as well say that the denial ' Socrates ≠ Socrates ' implies '(∃ x ( x ≠ x )'.

Thrasymachus believes that Socrates has done the men present an injustice by saying this and attacks his character and reputation in front of the group, partly because he suspects that Socrates himself does not even believe harming enemies is unjust.

* SocratesSocrates, Socrates refers to it in Plato's Philebus 48c, and Phaedrus 229e as a saying of Delphi.

: section % 3D343b ></ ref > Having lauded the maxims, Socrates then spends a great deal of time getting to the bottom of what one of them means, the saying of Pittacus, ' Hard is it to be good.

Concerning the accusation that Socrates believed in strange spirits and not the gods of the state, Socrates tricks Meletus into saying that spirits are the offspring of gods, and since no one believes in flutes playing without flute players, or in horses ' offspring without horses, Socrates could not believe in the offspring of gods without believing in gods.
