苏格拉底：西方哲学之父

他的死在雅典和人类历史上是一个黑暗的时刻，但他的思想和教诲却幸存下来，成为近2500年来的灯塔.

柏拉图、亚里士多德、尼采和许多其他伟大的思想家都未能对苏格拉底的思想作出明确的分析，我们在本文中也不打算这样做.

但是，对于那些想向苏格拉底作一个介绍的人来说，这是一个机会，让他们对这位杰出的人和著名的哲学家的生活和思想有一个宽宏大量的了解.

苏格拉底出生于公元前470年，死于公元前399年的雅典.他出身贫寒.一些学者推测他可能是自学成才的，他的教育是建立在他自己对世界和人民的观察之上的，我们对苏格拉底的了解大多来自柏拉图的著作，柏拉图告诉我们，苏格拉底是一个诚实正派的人，是一个忠于国家法律的公民，他从不辜负自己的宗教信仰他参与了他深爱的古雅典的政治生活，雅典学院前的苏格拉底雕像，一个鲜为人知的事实是苏格拉底也是一名士兵.

他在伯罗奔尼撒战争的三次战役中英勇作战，表现出非凡的勇气和无私精神，以及对战争中和战争后所经历的苦难的非凡忍耐力，一个名叫阿尔西比亚斯的年轻人赞扬苏格拉底无视寒冷和恐惧的勇气和力量.

阿尔西比亚德斯说，苏格拉底在战斗中救了他的命，然后拒绝为此而受到尊敬.

在柏拉图关于苏格拉底为自己辩护所作的演讲的报告《道歉》中，苏格拉底把从哲学中撤退的行为比作士兵在似乎有可能在战斗中被杀的情况下从敌人中撤退的行为，苏格拉底和阿尔西比亚德斯是克里斯托弗·威廉·埃克斯伯格（公共领域）写的，雅典有一个法律案件这是著名的说明苏格拉底的道德品质.

相反，将军们追击逃跑的斯巴达海军，苏格拉底是雅典公民委员会的成员.

他决心坚持原则，而不是受大众舆论的左右，在面临被逐出教会或死亡的威胁时，他独自坚持反对一项他认为违反宪法的审判.

他阻止了投票，直到轮到他担任安理会成员的时候结束，在那之后，那些没有逃走的将军们被判处**.

，伯罗奔尼撒战争结束和民主解体后，雅典由三十个暴君统治.

苏格拉底是他们最严厉的批评者之一，经常与他们发生冲突，尤其是与他曾经的朋友、前学生克里托（Crito of Alopece）发生冲突.

三十个暴君对他们认为对暴政构成威胁的人作出反应，没收财产，并将叛逆的公民处以**.

就像耶稣一样，这位伟大的哲学家并没有留下一个文字.

我们所知道的关于他的哲学使命和教诲都来自那个时代的其他伟大人物——亚里士多德、色诺芬，当然还有柏拉图，他们的叙述被认为是最可信和最准确的苏格拉底的不公平死亡震惊了雅典社会，当时年轻的柏拉图正在发展成为一个思想家和哲学家，并促使他记录他的伟大老师的生活和教诲.

他的作品之一是《道歉》，这是柏拉图对苏格拉底对雅典当局对他的指控进行自卫的版本.

我们对苏格拉底哲学的了解几乎都来自他的忠实学生，他也是历史上最伟大的哲学家之一.

柏拉图认为，苏格拉底思想的起点和终点是他的座右铭“我知道我什么都不知道”，苏格拉底是一个深刻的思想家和怀疑论的忠实爱好者.

This is one of the principal ways that Socratic thinking is differentiated from that of the pre-Socratic philosophers, whose special field was natural philosophy.

Pre-Socratic philosophers include such well-known thinkers as Zeno and Pythagoras.

This philosophy rejected the myths that supposedly explained the world, and tried to find rational .

他喜欢与他们接触，倾听他们的心声，倾听他们的问题和思考方式.

他的教诲和演讲常常围绕道德、勇敢、善良、对公平法律和国家的忠诚的价值展开，他指出了这些美德的对立的负面影响.

他教导年轻人，特别是富人的后代，不要过分看重物质上的东西，不要在意获得更多的财富，而是要在道德上行事，养活精神.

他认为人们可以用逻辑作为唯一的工具来解决问题和揭示真理，苏格拉底最出名的可能是他所谓的“苏格拉底方法”的教学方法，苏格拉底在这些讨论中，假装完全无知，完全不知道正在讨论的问题.

但是，通过一个又一个问题的提问，他努力从他的对话伙伴那里引出真相，在回答了所有问题之后，他最终得到了“真相”，苏格拉底称之为这些对话的结论.

在希腊语中，这种方法被称为μαιεγτικήμέθοδος–“maieutic”方法，它指的是真理在头脑中的概念，就像一个助产士（他母亲的职业）给世界带来了一个新的婴儿，因此苏格拉底从辩论者那里揭示了真理.

，苏格拉底与阿斯帕西亚（公共领域）的辩论，尽管苏格拉底的伟大和广受赞誉，但他也有狂热的敌人，这是他对人民的强大说服力和他对当时专制当局的有力反对的结果.

不幸的是，这种对立导致了他的死亡，著名的对苏格拉底的审判，被认为是历史上最悲惨的误判案件之一，导致了对“西方思想之父”的**判决，苏格拉底被指控“不承认城市承认的神”和“腐蚀雅典青年”.

许多历史学家认为，这些指控是通过歪曲苏格拉底在按照苏格拉底的方法教学时提出的问题而捏造的.

刑罚规定他应该自愿喝铁杉制成的有毒饮料.

，-克里托是苏格拉底和秃发的克里托关于正义和不公正的对话的名字.

它是近2500年后的灵感源泉.

Plato的对话是对Socrates从古代传教的最完整的叙述.

——苏格拉底的许多信仰被称为“似是而非”，因为起初他们似乎违背了常识.

这就是为什么我们最终得到了“苏格拉底悖论”这个词——苏格拉底嫁给了以火爆脾气著称的明显年轻的女人赞西佩.

他们有三个儿子，分别是兰普洛克里斯、索弗罗尼斯库和梅内克塞努斯.

苏格拉底经常被描述为不讨人喜欢甚至丑陋的人，他不太注意自己的外表和衣着，而且经常光脚走路.

苏格拉底被指控不尊重神，.

然而，苏格拉底谈到了一种优越的力量，使一些人认为他是一神论者.

苏格拉底不接受金钱来进行他的教导和演讲，并且反对智者（古希腊的教师和学者）收费提供他们的建议和知识的做法.

《普罗塔哥拉斯》是柏拉图最著名的经典对话之一，讲述了苏格拉底和智者普罗塔哥拉斯在这个有争议的话题上的争论.

当他十七岁的时候，苏格拉底遇到了哲学家阿奇劳斯，许多人相信这就是给苏格拉底灌输哲学热情的人此案在纽约联邦**重审.

在听取了历史系学生对苏格拉底的支持和反对之后，三位法官中的两位认为证据不足以定罪这位伟大的哲学家.

哲学是什么？What is philosophy

哲学是一门特殊的学问，是与通常局限于某种具体对象的知识体系不同的学问。在汉语中，“哲”是聪明的意思，在希腊文中则意味着爱智慧，所以，按照字义解释，哲学是一种使人聪明、启发智慧的学问。然而，这并不足以表明哲学的实质。哲学作为一门学问，是同人们的世界观、知识观等联系在一起的，是人们世界观、人生观、知识观等的理论表现形态。因此，辩证唯物主义对哲学定义是理论化、系统化了的世界观，或者说，是人们世界观的理论体系。哲学大体上可分为本体论和知识论

When people ask me what philosophy is, I usually get extremely

uncomfortable and want to go hide.

I. One reason it's hard to say what philosophy is

Here is one reason why it is difficult to offer a short, pithy description of

what philosophy is. In ancient Greece, the term "philosophy" was used extremely

broadly. Consider, for instance, the writings of Aristotle (384 - 322 B.C.).

These include not only all the topics we now think of as philosophical (for

example logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, social and political

philosophy, and aesthetics) but also a great many subjects that we would not now

regard as part of philosophy (notably biology and physics). One, perhaps

biased, way to look at the history of philosophy is to see it as a history in

which one scientific discipline after another branches off from philosophy:

physics in the seventeenth century, biology in the nineteenth, psychology around

the beginning of the twentieth, linguistics in the mid-twentieth century, and so

on. Philosophy as we now understand it is roughly what is left of the

collection of things Aristotle was interested in after the various sciences

branch off!

II. Some Areas of Philosophy

Here is a quick inventory of some philosophical topics, some of the issues

that are still thought of as philosophical more than two thousand years after

Aristotle.

A. Epistemology

"Epistemology" means "theory of knowledge" (from episteme, knowledge, and

logos, which can mean reason or rational investigation, among other things).

Epistemology considers questions such as: what is knowledge? How do we acquire

knowledge? How much knowledge do we have?

B. Metaphysics

Etymology isn't all that helpful here. We know what "physics" means (from

"physis" or nature). "Meta" can mean "above," and maybe that's not a bad way of

thinking of what metaphysics is: a set of issues that are "above" physics in the

sense that they are more abstract or general. But historically the term seems to

originate with the editors who collected and organized Aristotle's writings.

"Meta" can also mean "after," and apparently they used the term "metaphysics" as

a title for the material they put after Aristotle's book on physics, meaning

just "after the physics."

To put it as co**ically as possible, a metaphysical issue is a highly general

or abstract issue about the nature of reality. A main subdivision of

metaphysics is ontology, which concerns what sorts of things exist. Ontological

issues include whether God exists, whether numbers exist, whether nonphysical

minds exist. In addition to ontology, there are other general issues about the

nature of reality, including whether human beings do or do not have free

will.

C. Value Theory (Axiology)

"Value theory" is a label for issues about, well, values. It includes ethics,

which is concerned with moral and ethical values, and aesthetics, which is

concerned with artistic value.

III. One attempt at a definition

In one way this understates the unity of philosophy, however. For if we look

at what remains, we see, not only great diversity, but also some resemblances

among the subjects that remain. Most notably, philosophy concerns issues which

for one reason or another have not lent themselves to scientific

investigation. In some cases this may only be that we haven't developed the

right scientific techniques. For instance, issues in co**ology (such as whether

the universe has a beginning in time and whether it is infinite in extent) used

to be regarded as philosophical because there didn't seem to be any way to

settle them empirically; now, however, they are thought of more as belonging to

physics, and empirically supported answers have been offered. In other cases,

however, such as ethics, it seems plausible that the issues are not even in

principle empirical ones.

We can use this insight to construct an attempt at a definition of

philosophy. Beware: this is not a standard definition of philosophy, and

probably would not meet with wide agreement! It is just my own attempt, perhaps

idiosyncratic, to indicate the kinds of issues with which philosophy is

concerned. I invite you to attempt to construct your own definition!

So here it is:

Philosophy is:

(a) the attempt to acquire knowledge

(b) by

rational means

(c) about topics that do not seem amenable to empirical

investigation.

Condition (a) distinguishes philosophy from creative disciplines such as

literature or music. Condition (b) distinguishes philosophy from mystici** and

some varieties of religion. Condition (c) distinguishes philosophy from the

empirical sciences.

IV. Is this definition adequate?

There are two questions to ask about any definition: does it include all the

cases it should, and does it exclude all the cases it should? Let us consider

first whether the definition includes everything it should. Condition (a) may

rule out some writings that are often treated as philosophy. For instance, it

rules out activi**, writing or speech whose goal is to effect change rather than

to acquire knowledge. But Marx famously wrote, "The philosophers have attempted

to understand the world. The point, however, is to change it." And some other

philosophers may have had goals other than knowledge. Kierkegaard seems to have

as a goal to help his readers become religious. Still, both of these writers

also were concerned with acquiring knowledge, and I would argue that it is only

this aspect of their writing that is philosophical.

Condition (b) is rather vague. It is intended to rule out attempts to gain

knowledge about reality by mystical insight rather than by rational inquiry.

This may rule out some Eastern thought (though certainly much of Asian

philosophy is eminently rational).

Condition (c) certainly rules out some topics that have traditionally been

thought of as part of philosophy, such as whether the universe is deterministic,

whether it has a beginning in time, whether it is infinite in extent, and so on.

In my opinion this is as it should be: these issues, although they were once

thought to be suitable topics for philosophy, have turned out to be part of

physics. However, it is an interesting question whether condition (c) rules out

some topics that are still widely held to be part of philosophy -- for instance,

whether there is a nonphysical mind, and whether people have free will. I am

inclined to think that, while philosophy can contribute to these issues by

clarifying the issues and the concepts involved, the issues are ultimately

empirical and not philosophical.

So overall, although these conditions rule out some writings that have been

called philosophical, I don't think they leave out anything that should properly

be thought of as part of philosophy.

The second question is whether these conditions exclude what they should.

That is, are there issues or writings that are not philosophical that

nevertheless satisfy these conditions?

At the moment I can only think of one example that might be a problem here,

but it's a very significant one, namely mathematics. Mathematics is not an

empirical discipline (well, this would not be universally accepted, but I think

it's the most common view). But it is certainly an attempt to acquire knowledge

by rational means. So it looks as though my definition includes at least one

subject it shouldn't. Perhaps the definition should be revised? (For instance,

by replacing "empirical" by "scientific"?) On the other hand, the boundary

between mathematics and philosophy is anything but clear. Plato thought of

mathematics as the paradigm of philosophy, and there is a large overlap between

logic, usually thought of as part of philosophy, and mathematics.

Why are philosophical issues not amenable to straightforward empirical

investigation? The answer may be different in different areas of philosophy.

In aesthetics and

ethics, the reason seems to be that the issues concern

(to put it crudely) values rather than facts, and so are normative rather than

empirical. Empirical investigation may reveal what ethical beliefs have been

held in different time periods or cultures, but if we ask, not what ethical

beliefs people have held, but rather which ones are true, we do not seem to be

asking an empirical question.

In other areas of philosophy the issues may be conceptual rather than

empirical. That is, some philosophical issues concern the relations between our

ideas rather than empirical facts about the world.

Epistemology asks what the nature of knowledge is; an

answer to the question will tell us something about our concept of knowledge

rather than something directly about the world. (This isn't epistemology's only

question though; another epistemological concern is what it is for a belief to

be justified or rational. Here we seem to have another example of a question

that is not straightforwardly empirical because it is normative.)

In still other areas, the issues may actually be empirical in some sense,

but they are so deep or general that empirical evidence, although relevant, can

be used only indirectly. Issues in metaphysics (for

example, the "mind-body problem") may be like this.
