I'm Just a Philosopher

The word philosophy means love of wisdom in ancient Greek. Those who can become philosophers are erudites and thinkers. They do not look at anything superficially, but dig deeply. The so-called being knowledgeable but not sophisticated does not work for great philosophers. They must be both knowledgeable and sophisticated, otherwise they will just be castles in the air.

How about rewriting while there are fewer chapters? Philosophy is different from what you wrote. You don't study philosophy to criticize people, let alone to say things that others can't understand. Philosophy explores issues of the soul. Early Chinese philosophy appeared in the contention of a hundred schools of thought. You have to think about that era of collision of ideas.

I want to make it clear that Socrates definitely did not deliberately silence him. Socrates was different from the Sophists who debated for the sake of debate. A series of Socrates' dialogues centered around "what is" (for an inappropriate example, an apple is an apple pie, and an apple is an apple first and then an apple pie). Whether he was discussing beauty with Hippias (the reason why beautiful things are beautiful because of the existence of beauty itself) or discussing bravery with Laches, the dialogue revolved around "what is". Philosophers are not preachers. Socrates' dialogue is for people to reflect. Through the dialogue between two people, the contradictions of things themselves are revealed, so as to achieve the purpose of reflection. Socrates called this method midwifery.
