Three Cheers for Socrates!
Johnel, like you, your humble servant here loves Socrates. He loves to quote: "Know thyself." To this you have added: "I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think." Of course, this is another way of stating the classic concept of "Socratic dialog." These "old timers" got it right; we simply rediscover their wisdom. Thank you for expanding on Socrates for this writer. Yes, as American philosopher Albert J. Nock put it, "Education is two people sitting on a bench exchanging insights. It has nothing to do with parking lot and building budgets." Amen. FYI I once had the chance to go to Athens, Greece, and while there, I had the chance to visit the places associated with these classic thinkers. Thank you. Dr. Rux
