We look at his exhortation to 'care for your soul', his conviction that knowledge of virtue is necessary to become virtuous, his belief that all evil acts are committed out of ignorance and hence involuntarily, and finally his presumption that committing an injustice is far worse than suffering an injustice. =================================================== Support us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/academyofideas Get the transcript: http://academyofideas.com/2013/04/the-ideas-of-socrates/ =================================================== --- Learn more about your ad choices.
