Ah yes Socrates, noted as being the father of western philosophy.
SPA- Socrates, Plato, Aristotle. Socrates would pole pedestrians in the city center. Accused of corrupting the youth, he was asked to leave the empire. He insisted that his street-side philosophy was for the good, and that if his society deemed his actions to be exilable, despite them being for the good of humanity, he'd rather die as example. He was put on trial and was served poison, and died for his beliefs. Plato his understudy, was a wealthy young man. Plato went on to utilize Socrates's teachings in his criitiques on political systems. He wrote "Plato's Republic" cementing himself as one of the founding fathers of the democratic republic system of governance that free societies still use today. Aristotle was Plato's student. Aristotle was the man that put Socrates's and Plato's writings into a "Unified Western Philosophy" and was known to have coined the syntax for logical thinking. Substance, quantity, quality, relation, place, time, situation, condition, action and passion. Thanks for using Socrates as your avatar! Spurred me to think. I haven't done that in ages!
