Socrates: An Unexamined Life Is A Wasted Life

Abstract: 6 pages in length. Many debates have been waged over the essence of life and the meaning of existence. Philosophies abound with insight as to the reasons why humanity exists and what people are supposed to learn during their mortal journey. Socrates was a firm believer in the notion of knowledge and enlightenment, contending that those who seek anything less than an examined life are, in effect, living a wasted life. Whether he utilized literature, visual arts, the quest for happiness or a whole host of other examples for his argument, Socrates' assertion formed the basis upon which the philosopher composed the fundamental elements of his life theories, inasmuch as he believed with all his heart that mankind cannot possibly be happy without perpetually challenging himself and his surrounding environment. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
