Just for the sake of talking about philosophy, rather than whatever else is going on, what do people think of Socrrates and all things Socratic-ish?

Which Socrates? Plato's, Xenophon's, or Aristophanes'?
Plato has him as the gadfly philosopher and a mouthpiece for his own philosophies. Xenophon has him as a traditional moralist. Aristophanes has him as a buffoonish sophist.

well i think Plato's Apology is perhaps one of the best works in the Western Canon in my opinion. The Symposium is up there too, though I get weirded out by Aristophanes.

Plato's.

We have to admitt that Socrates do really make a lots of effect in the Philosophy filds.Not only at that t\ime but also nowadays.

Without Socrates there is no Plato. Without Plato there is no Catholic philosophy and thus Catholic theology.

A couple of nibbles... anyone want to bite? Come on, in a philosophy part of a catholic forum surely there has to be a discussion of socrates (as plato represented him! ::) )
