Socrates

Socrates direct answer about virtue is that it is unteachable, Socrates does not

believe in the doctrine of recollection to explain why we are in possession of knowledge

about things. But Socrates does argue that knowledge and virtue are so closely related

that no human ever knowingly does evil. Socrates also believes that a life of virtue is

always in a persons best interest. He does not think that anyone could be happy in a life

that was not also morally good. Socrates also believes that with virtue in our lives we can

have Happiness. Socrates thinks you wont need anything else to be happy. Socrates also

believes there are four cardinals to virtue, which are courage, wisdom, justice and self

control, throughout your entire life he thinks you should achieve these, even if you achieve

nothing you will have lived a truly excellent life. I plan to talk about all the sub categories

in virtue in my paper, and mainly just go over how Socrates views it
