Most of what I refer to is common knowledge, in terms of being undisputed knowledge present in almost every textbook or academic source on Socrates and the history of philosophy, but I can produce some references or citations if it's requested.

A Note About the Legacy Section I added

This is to serve as an explanation of the "Legacy" and "Criticism" sections I added to this article. They are a port of text I wrote (and unedited by any other users) from Wikipedia but I've now edited them to bring them up to Citizendium standards.

Most of what I refer to is common knowledge, in terms of being undisputed knowledge present in almost every textbook or academic source on Socrates and the history of philosophy, but I can produce some references or citations if it's requested.
