"the unexamined life is not worth living"-Socrates

"the unexamined life is not worth living". He emphasized ethics, virtue, and self-examination, shifting philosophy towards moral and human concerns, and famously claimed, "I know that I know nothing," highlighting the pursuit of wisdom through acknowledging ignorance. Though he wrote nothing, his ideas were preserved by his students, especially Plato, and he remains a foundational figure in Western philosophy.
