you ‘have to do this’? no one has to do anything that isn’t wanted (to be done). choice, my friend, is a truly human and life altering event once understood. we all have choices but first knowing yourself on a unique basis is step one. ergo, and so it goes, socrates affects us still some thousands of years after his death. he was entirely instrumental in tutoring plato who went on to ‘school’ aristocrates, etc.. like ‘whadda’ guy. one man who in turn made possible two others who did overtly change the world then and continues today. socrates never wrote a thing down or at least what we know but his student plato did and because of his famous student, we know about the man. socratic method of teaching, which i use daily, is considered the best way to learn. there’s didactic and socratic. i prefer the socratic method as it is more affirmative and best for an indelible in meaning.
so you ask why socrates is important? ask yourself one question: are you important and if the answer is yes, as it should be, then you’ve answered your own question. if you know yourself then you are on the way of knowing the world. as for the rest? i rest my case.
