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.
Copied from Template:Socrates
in which Larry mis-used the {{philosopher}} template:
{{philosopher |name = Socrates |born = 470/69 B.C. |died = 399 B.C. |nationality = Greek |birth_city = Athens |adj = Socratic |isms = [[skepticism]] |work = No extant writings, but the ''Apology'' of Plato is alleged to be a record of an actual speech of Socrates |work_size = 0 |logic = [[Socratic method]] defined standards of reasoning and definition |metaphysics = |epistemology = |phil_of_religion = |phil_of_mind = |phil_of_sci = |ethics = Famous for examining the nature of various virtues |politics = |aesthetics = |other_field_1_name = |other_field_1 = |other_field_2_name = |other_field_2 = |other_field_3_name = |other_field_3 = |rep_quote1 = "...the unexamined life is not worth living for man..." (38a) |rep_quote2 = "I am wiser than this man; it is likely that neither of us knows anything worthwhile, but he thinks he knows something when he does not, whereas when I do not know, neither do I think I know; so I am likely to be wiser than he to this small extent, that I do not think I know what I do not know." (21d) |rep_quote3 = "Crito, pay a cock to Asclepius; make this offering to him and do not forget." (118e) }}
