The reason for Socrates describing himself as “wise because he realized how ignorant he is” is because he knew so much about the world around him, from his perspective. He did not know the world around him from someone else point of view. He felt to answer all the questions you had to know all the questions. This is related to Philosophy because the way he wanted to live his life the way everyone lived their lives, take a good aspect from each to really understand and know how to live your life.
Socrates’ reason for drinking the Hemlock is simple, to show his belief in his cause. He believed that the Democratic views of the Athenian government were wrong in their beliefs in the gods. There may be a few things I’m willing to die for but not too much, my views on religion are pretty well rooted in my family so I would never give that up. All the others aren’t as important. Also any type of abuse is just wrong so I would fight against that maybe not by giving my life though.
