Your philosopher

You are Socrates

Why you match

Socrates (c. 470–399 BCE) was the founder of Western philosophy, though he left no writings of his own. He practised philosophy as a way of life, engaging Athenians in relentless questioning (the Socratic method) to expose the limits of their knowledge. Sentenced to death for impiety and corrupting the youth, he chose hemlock over exile, exemplifying his conviction that justice matters more than survival.
