Socrates was a Greek philosopher and moralist. He wrote no philosophical works himself, but the discussions he held with the young men who gathered round him afÂfected profoundly the subsequent development of philosophy, particularly through their influence on Plato. Philosophers before Socrates speculated—naively, though interestingly, about the composition and workings of the natural universe, but Socrates made others conscious of the absence of any agreed standard of truth in such matters.
