“For him [Socrates], philosophy is a way of living, something that any of us can do. The Socratic method is a way to seek truths by your own lights; it is a system, a spirit, a method, a type of philosophical inquiry, an intellectual technique, all rolled into one.”
- Chris Phillips, Socrates Café
We are discussing no small matter, but how we ought to live.
- Socrates, in Plato’s Republic
