Well, Socrates was eventually put to death.

Um, I forget the year, maybe it was like 401 BC or something like that.

Um, but he, or maybe it was 399 BC.

Uh, he's put to death by the court of Athens for corrupting the youth and essentially suggesting that perhaps the Greek gods don't exist.

Right.

Um,

So Jordan Peterson.

the uh this the stories and the the points the philosophical points that play that socrates was making throughout socrates life so all of plato's um written philosophy is not like aristotle where if you were to read the nicomachean ethics it is which

That's just like Aristotle's writings of how to be a good person, right?

How to treat other people.

It's Aristotle speaking directly to you.

It's just you and Aristotle.

600s BC or early 500s BC.
