Everything we know about him comes from others - principally Plato, who idolized him, and Aristophanes, who mocked him. That a man who left no written work became the most influential philosopher in Western history is itself a kind of philosophical provocation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe spent his life in the streets and marketplaces of Athens, engaging anyone willing to talk in conversation designed to expose the limits of their knowledge. His method was simple and devastating: ask questions until the contradiction reveals itself. Politicians, poets, and craftsmen all submitted to it. Most walked away unsettled. Some walked away changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 399 BC, Athens put him on trial for impiety and corrupting the youth. He was seventy years old. He refused to flee, refused to stop philosophizing, and refused to beg for mercy. The jury condemned him to death by hemlock. He drank it without hesitation, continuing to discuss the immortality of the soul with his friends until the poison took hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe died as he had lived - asking questions. The Western philosophical tradition begins with that refusal to stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiclée printing for bright, fade-resistant color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo paper choices: Fine Art (textured archival) or Matte (low-sheen)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 3 sizes, vertical orientation, at 273 DPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper weights range ~180–285 g\/m² depending on option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped rolled for safe transit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"12″ x 18″ (Vertical) \/ Fine Art","offer_id":47956470694055,"sku":"43780052504375793946","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12″ x 18″ (Vertical) \/ Matte","offer_id":47956470726823,"sku":"12221539692578546983","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16″ x 24″ (Vertical) \/ Fine Art","offer_id":47956470759591,"sku":"20760916283820455201","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16″ x 24″ (Vertical) \/ Matte","offer_id":47956470792359,"sku":"33108257678658269904","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20″ x 30″ (Vertical) \/ Fine Art","offer_id":47956470825127,"sku":"15262320998307370437","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20″ x 30″ (Vertical) \/ Matte","offer_id":47956470857895,"sku":"23350664663786948735","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2249\/5399\/files\/Socrates-fine-art-poster-Greek-philosopher-illustration.jpg?v=1774064126","url":"https:\/\/legendsketch.com\/products\/socrates-fine-art-poster","provider":"LegendSketch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
