苏格拉底介绍演讲(英文PPT)

◆About wisdom True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us. ◆About life An unexamined life is not worth living. ◆About death The hour of departure has arrived and we go our ways; I to die, and you to live. Which is better? Only God knows.

Reasons of choose death
◆ He believed such a flight would indicate a fear of death, which he believed no true philosopher has. ◆ If he fled Athens his teaching would fare no better in another country, as he would continue questioning all he met and undoubtedly incur their displeasure. ◆ Having knowingly agreed to live under the city's laws, he implicitly subjected himself to the possibility of being accused of crimes by its citizens and judged guilty by its jury. To do otherwise would have caused him to break his "social contract" with the state, and so harm the state, an unprincipled act. 3

◆About deΒιβλιοθήκη Baiduth
To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?
Socrates（∑ω κ ρ τ η ）
