Q0877
WonderPhilosophy

Socrates left no writings of his own; we know him mainly through students and later writers, especially Plato.

The Socrates we meet is partly a historical person and partly a figure preserved through dialogues, memory and argument. That makes him powerful and difficult: his voice reaches us through others. This matters globally for any tradition built on witnesses. The lesson is source awareness: even great teachers arrive through human transmission.

Q0878
WonderPhilosophy

True wisdom begins in knowing how little you know.

A modern rewording of the most famous idea associated with Socrates, who left no writings; we know him through Plato and Xenophon. In Plato's Apology he explains that his only edge over others is awareness of his own ignorance. The point is practical, not falsely modest: overestimating what we know is where most error begins, so honest not-knowing is the first competence.
