Socrates in Search of the Truth

Socrates is a name that has always associated with wisdom (theosophy).To illustrate his significance suffice it to say that he is Plato's favorite master. Plato is a thinker that a philosopher like Whitehead, when describing him, says that all western philosophy is nothing but commentaries on his philosophy. Aristotle, who is known as "absolute philosopher" and Islamic and western philosophy owe to him, is Plato's indirect pupil. Socrate's status in wisdom and ethics is such that some consider him as a prophet. There is a consensus that Socrates is the one who claims to train others to have wisdom.This brief research aims at understanding Plato's life, familiarity with his way of thinking, and his role in expanding wisdom. Through reflecting in and analyzing the works left which include Socratic wisdom, we will find that Socrates had been not only a thinker but also had internalized wisdom and virtue as his inseparable personality traits. He put the philosophical reflection in its true path by devising his own specific inductive method and restless search to achieve the essence and reality of things.
