Our readingWhat is a korrent?

Discussing virtue daily is the greatest good, and the unexamined life is not worth living

Drawn from what Socrates said

What Socrates actually said

  1. Socrates Athenian philosopher (469 to 399 BCE) who wrote nothing
    For if I tell you that to do as you say would be a disobedience to the God, and therefore that I cannot hold my tongue, you will not believe that I am serious; and if I say again that daily to discourse about virtue, and of those other things about which you hear me examining myself and others, is the greatest good of man, and that the unexamined life is not worth living, you are still less likely to believe me. Yet I say what is true, although a thing of which it is hard for me to persuade you.
