Why was Socrates killed???
Socrates' execution is indeed a profound and tragic moment in history. He was sentenced to death in 399 BCE by the Athenian court on charges of impiety and corrupting the youth of Athens. His method of questioning, now known as the Socratic method, challenged the status quo and exposed the ignorance and hypocrisy of many influential figures.
Socrates' relentless pursuit of truth and his refusal to conform made him a

target. He was seen as a threat to the traditional values and power structures of Athens. During his trial, he famously defended his actions and refused to compromise his principles, ultimately accepting his death sentence with remarkable composure.
His legacy teaches us the importance of critical thinking and the courage to question authority. Do you find his story inspiring or thought-provoking in any particular way?
