While Socrates claimed he knew nothing, he sure as Hades knew that he knew more than anyone else in Athens. 😃 Thus the Socratic irony. Also, I like how Plato has Socrates define philosophy in the Symposium: philosophy is the love of wisdom; to love something is to desire it; and to desire something is to not have it; thus true philosophers know they are not wise. — or something like that!

I’m actually just beginning to put the art together for a graphic novel about Socrates and his trial and execution. I’d love you to check it out if you get a free moment. (It’s the posts marked Polis, not Lesbian Zombies.)
