Episode notes
Socrates' Antics
- Socrates harassed Athenians for a long time by questioning their knowledge.
- He was known for neglecting his affairs and demolishing egos.
Questioning's Limits
- Socrates' method of questioning, while valuable, can be seen as impractical in modern society.
- Constantly questioning others' knowledge might lead to negative consequences.
The Examined Life
- Daily discourse about virtue is the greatest good, but not the only good.
- Examining life is important, but not necessarily to Socrates' extreme.
