First, he addressed the politicians. Athens associated power with wisdom. In the eyes of Athens, politicians are wise because of their power and persuasive speech. After talking to some politicians and determining their actual knowledge; he came to a conclusion. Socrates understood that politicians think highly of themselves and actually lack wisdom. Politicians preach things they have no knowledge of. Wisdom is being able to recognize one's ignorance about something. This is exactly the opposite of what politicians do. They portray that they are wise and know everything, but in reality they are not. Socrates believes that only the gods are perfect and know everything. This led Socrates to conclude that wisdom is not power. The second group he visits is that of poets. The poet's work shows the ideal of how to live and gives us our ideas about heroes/villains. Poets show people how to live life. But ultimately, wisdom is not fame or popularity. Poets appear to be wise in their work but in reality they do not understand their own work. Furthermore, poets seem to think that since they have knowledge in their field, they must also have knowledge in other fields. When in reality, they don't know what they're talking about. The third group was that of artisans and technicians. Socrates discovers that this group actually knows things he doesn't know, which makes them a little wiser than him. But artisans and technicians think that since they have authority in one area, they also have authority in all areas, which makes them unwise. At the end of his mission to prove the oracle right, Socrates discovers what makes someone wise. Wisdom is recognizing what you don't know. The Oracle of Delphi and Socrates' journey lead us to the conclusion that Socrates ultimately believes in a higher power like God, even if he does not say so directly. Later
