Socrates, great philosopher, is not a corrupter of Athenian youth nor an atheist, but an educator and a guide. He believes that truth and reasoning can only be acquired through dialogue and that is why he formulates a political philosophy based on the idea of ​​forming a city on principles of reason. He views the search for truth as a process of examining claims. Socrates encourages his audience and leads them to follow his train of thought by asking them questions. He leads discussions with young people to help them distinguish between justice and injustice, which can lead to a better life. Socrates is accused of corrupting the youth and of not believing in the gods of the state. However, he is a lover of wisdom, a seeker of truth and his essential mission is to teach. He only wants to discover what is true and good in human nature. He walks the streets of Athens questioning prominent citizens about their beliefs. Socrates offers three arguments in favor of the just life over the unjust life: the just man is good and wise, and the unjust man is wicked and ignorant (349b); injustice produces internal conflict that prevents effective actions (351b). Furthermore, he said that virtue is excellence in the function of a thing and that the just person lives a happier life than the unjust person, since he performs well the various functions of the human soul (352d ). . What Socrates actually knows is beyond description, but he can consistently tell when someone neglects to identify their own ignorance. He believes in the four virtues: courage, wisdom, justice and temperance (428d to 441e). He believes that philosophy is man's most honorable and beneficial occupation; in fact, it is his duty. He learns... middle of article... his teachings were more precise than those of his opponents themselves. Suppressing people's minds and hearts ultimately fails. So even though the government of Athens attempted to control its philosophers and teachers, this tactic was never successful. Socrates is not a corrupter of youth; he teaches, guides and encourages. The rulers of Athens should be grateful that such an authentic philosopher existed in their state and he is willing to give his time, energy and wisdom to this fortunate youth. He may have been followed by young people, but they were just listening. to the conversations that Socrates had with the people of Athens. If the young person comes up with ideas based on the conversations they have had, then that is completely acceptable. Their beliefs are formed inside themselves, not from Socrates, because Socrates has explicitly shown that he does not teach anyone anything..
