Life of Socrates:

Socrates is great philosopher from Athens, Greek. We don't get much information about Socrates cause he never wrote any work. Today we have some information about him by the book 'Apology' by Plato ( student of Socrates). Many philosopher told that any works written by Plato are called by Socrates.

In early time of Socrates he was a simple man like us. He live with peace in Greek. He attained a war as solder. In this war Athens was loose and Spara was win and democracy was ended. But after some years democracy was ended and one day someone visited to a place for know who is most knowledgeable people in Greek and he get answer "Socrates"!

Sometimes one incidents change our  like that this incident change Socrates life and can't get how am I most knowledgeable in Greek. After that he visited many people in Greek without food and bath it's described his devotion for truth, knowledgeable, and philosophy. He know that he din't know everything and that think make him most knowledgeable. 

He asked questions to public and make many arguments and now we know this method as "Socrates Method". But after this many young men are asked questions like him so public became angry for this and said he is criminal who make corruption. And one day he said that I have Angel spirit on my shoulder so some people mislead this statement and after that Socrates get punishment of death and he died by Hemlock ( name of poison). But before death he never afraid from death and follow his principles and he also rejects his charges. His one quote described he don't fear from death is,

" The un examine life is not a living"

One time he get part in beauty contest but he don't win but their also he give many philosophical arguments for winning it's described his self love.

In " Apology " Palto wrote about Socrates. He wrote that in parliament Socrates defined himself with honesty. He also rejected his charges he said, " I am also a spiritual man" and I am not corrupted young people but I am do my work and get more knowledge. He don't get fear and don't spot philosophy until his death. The Jury offer him a light punishment but he denied and get death with poison his students give him many chances for ran away but he was not and say, please cut a coke for God of Death for me.
