The Oracle Of Delphi

Socrates attributed his reputation to a unique kind of wisdom. He recounted how his friend Chaerephon once asked the oracle at Delphi if anyone was wiser than Socrates. The oracle replied that no one was. Socrates, puzzled by this, sought out those reputed to be wise—politicians, poets, and craftsmen—to see if he could find someone wiser. He concluded that while these men thought they were wise, they were not, whereas Socrates knew he lacked wisdom. This, he argued, made him wiser to a small extent: he recognized his own ignorance.
