THE STORY BEHIND THE SHIRT

"WHEN THE DEBATE IS LOST SLANDER BECOMES THE TOOL OF THE LOSERS".

Socrates (469 BC – 399 BC) was one of the greatest Greek philosophers. He did not propose any specific knowledge or policy. He showed how argument, debate, and discussion could help men to understand difficult issues. Most of the issues he dealt with were only political on the surface. Underneath, they were moral questions about how life should be lived.^[1] Such is the influence of Socrates that philosophers before him are called the Presocratic philosophers.^[2]

Socrates made enemies, three of whom brought charges against him. Socrates was tried for his life in 399 BC, found guilty, and put to death by drinking hemlock (a herbal poison).^[1] The story of his trial and death is the subject of a tract by Plato which is called the Apologia.
