Socrates Philosophy of Self and Personal Reflection
I’ve met many philosophers that have a different perspective about life. Different understanding what really is Life is. Among the many philosophers that I’ve met this past weeks, I have one philosopher that I deify and It is Socrates. This is Socrates philosophy of self essay in whicj I will share my viewpoints.
Socrates said “know yourself for the unexamined life is not worth living”. I really believe in what he said. Socrates further claimed that us human beings must know ourselves to be able to live in accordance us who are we. I understand the point that Socrates claimed that we should be good and know ourselves to be our life worth living. It reflected to me that an unexamined
life is not worth living. I’ve met people that live without knowing theirselves. They just live in the way the want and it’s not really worth living without examining what your life is really is. We should be wise in order to live and to know what is good to do what is good
Socrates most famous statement “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing” and “There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance”. That’s why Socrates said that knowledge is virtue. I had so many experiences without having knowledge and only ignorance before I know Philosopher Socrates. Being ignorant is not good, because ignorant person can be dangerous. I’m learning all by myself to be not ignorant, I’m trying to be not ignorant. I want to be an amazing and knowledgeable person. When I met Socrates I understand everything why we need knowledge, knowledge can solve everyday problems and knowledge can help us to live and survive everyday struggles. Being an educated person is the best. You can do a lot of things like teaching others to be discipline and have knowledge so that they will be also to live and survive in this world, be aware on what they want to do, be responsible and be confident in theirselves.
As far as I know to myself is that I should not to be ignorant and be curious to be able to get knowledge and information to be able to understand and able to solve things. I’ve learned much about Socrates Philosophy and it helps me cope my ignorance.
Philosopher Socrates is the one who helped to escape being ignorant. He succored to my mind to be not ignorant. Teach me to know myself even better in order to live my life as worth living. Philosophers shares their wisdom to us so that we will understand and know what their philosophies is. Philosophy teaches us critical thinking, close reading, clear writing and logical analysis; it uses these to understand the language we use to describe the world, and our place within it. Philosophy help us to understand our lives even better and understand ourselves to live better.
To sum up Socrates concept of self essay, I really deify Socrates because I know that Socrates Philosophies can help others to cope and understand theirselves even better to be able to live in their life as worth living. I really believe that understanding his philosophy can help anyone to know himself better.
