Today in class we learned about Greek philosophers such as socrates and Plato and aristotle.

socrates- socrates was special because he looked to science and logic, not mythical gods, for explanation for how the world works. He also made up the socratic method which fostered the way of critical thinking by asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking. one of his most famous quotes is “The unexamined life is not worth living.” meaning that only in striving to come to know ourselves and to understand ourselves do our lives have any meaning or value. But unfortunately 

socrates died because of this way of deeper thinking. He was charged with impiety which means disrespecting the gods he was also charged with corrupting the youth of Athens
