Sokriatos

Sokriatos (Kalopian: Σωκράτου transl. Sokrátou) was a moral philosopher from Kalopia born in the 12th century. It is considered one of the most important philosophers in Terra and one of the founders of philosophy.

Biography
The date Sokriatos was born is unknown, but we can guess he was from the 12th century. He was born in Kalopia, in the actual province of Wantuni. He worked for the first time at 19 years as a stonemason. He joined the military, but had no future or important event in there.

He died after the invasion of some Turjaks in the village he lived in. Most of the people ran away, but a minority, including him, couldn't escape. A write says that he found a hide in a cave far from the village, and a Turjak soldier found him and immediately took him into the village with the rest. He would be executed by Turjaks The reason why he was executed is explained in the History of Kalopia.

Sokriatic Method
The Socratic method is a way to seek truths by your own lights. Sokriatos engaged in questioning of his students in an unending search for truth. He sought to get to the foundations of his students' views by asking continual questions until a contradiction was exposed, thus proving the fallacy of the initial assumption. This became known as the Socratic Method, and may be Sokriatos' most enduring contribution to philosophy.

Philosophical Beliefs
If anything in general can be said about the philosophical beliefs of Sokratios, it is that he was morally, intellectually, and politically at odds with many of his fellow Wantunians. A famous quote from Sokriatos is: "There should be no doubt that, despite his claim to know only that he knew nothing, Socrates had strong beliefs about the divine".

Knowledge
The statement "I know that I know nothing" is often attributed to Sokriatos, based on a statement from Piletos, his disciple. Sokriatos considered virtuousness to require or consist of phronēsis, "thought, sense, judgement, practical wisdom, (and) prudence". Therefore, he believed that wrongdoing and behaviour that was not virtuous resulted from ignorance, and that those who did wrong knew no better.

Politics
Sokriatos was a big critic of democracy. Sokriatos found short of ideal any government that did not conform to his presentation of a perfect regime led by philosophers. No one knows at all the ideals of Sokriatos.
