Document Summary
He believed that the citizens of athens were complacent, they think they know everything but they know nothing. Universal definition relates to plato"s definition of forms. Socrates sees the relationship between knowledge, the truth and the soul (socrates believes that the truth lies or rests in our souls) Morality and immorality: we do the right things because we have the knowledge of the good. But when we do something that is morally wrong, we are mistaken or what the good is/ignorant of what the good is. Popular opinion: socrates did not put great faith in popular opinion because just because some people may believe something is true, does not make it true. World of forms: the world of sense experience (the divided line): The world of sense experience is the visible world. It is always changing, nothing ever stays the same- it is a world that is not perfect.
