First of all, the source of ideas
Virtue is knowledge, which is the moral and ethical proposition of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates and the core of his moral philosophy. From Plato's Meno in 420 BC. "Virtue" refers to all the excellent qualities of a person. "Knowledge" refers to the conceptual knowledge and kind knowledge of the whole world. Socrates thinks that morality is knowledge, and morality and knowledge are the same. Virtue is not innate, but comes from education.
Socrates put forward that "no one intentionally does evil". A virtuous person must have knowledge about moral behavior. Only by knowing good knowledge can he make the most just and brave behavior.
Second, the author introduces.
Socrates is an ancient Greek philosopher and is considered as one of the founders of western philosophy. He lived in Athens in the 5th century BC, and was a thoughtful and enlightening thinker and educator.
Although Socrates did not leave any written works, our thinking about him mainly depends on the dialogues written by his student Plato. Socrates' philosophical method takes dialogue and questioning as the core, which is called "Socrates dialogue".
By interacting with others, Socrates tried to guide others to think and question their own views, so as to pursue truth and wisdom. Socrates focuses on morality, knowledge and humanity. He emphasized the importance of morality, and thought that only by pursuing knowledge and exploring truth can people achieve moral perfection.
He believes that people's bad behavior is caused by ignorance, so he encourages individuals to conduct introspection and self-reflection in order to increase knowledge and improve moral quality.
