Class notes Thursday


  • Socrates asked leading questions to help kids develop critical thinking
  • Athens was a great city that attacked brilliant thinkers
    • these thinkers shared knowledge of astronomy, medicine, meteorology, literature, philosophy, and all things science
  • teaching was manly centered around greek gods
  • socrates had the young children thinking and questioning things
  • socrates for doing this was charged with two different crimes
    • corruption of the youth
    • impiety (not believing in the gods of Athens)
  • then we discussed if socrates should have not been charge or if he should have been charged for his 2 crimes
  • Idiot: self-centeredness
