Did Socrates get married?

Socrates was married to the legendary Xanthippe (shocking isn't it?), a younger woman famous for her sharp tongue and said to be the only person to have beaten Socrates in an argument. Her name is now synonymous with a shrewish wife.AnswerSocrates was married to the legendary Xanthippe, a younger woman famous for her sharp tongue and said to be the only person to have beaten Socrates in an argument. Her name is now synonymous with a shrewish wife. Socrates was married to Xanthippe and had one son with her. At the same time he had a girlfriend named Myrto. He had two sons with Myrto. Some writters claim at last he married Myrto.Xanthippe may have become such a nagging and shrew wife because Socrates wouldn't except money for his philosophy meetings. This left them broke to properly raise a family.


Was Socrates a good philosopher?

Socrates and Three Generations of State :A philosopher is assessed not by the beauty of his words, but by looking into whether his objectives were achieved or not. His arguments on how a more republican and disciplined State could be constructed were considered comments from shade and shine against the Athenian State which was indisciplined, no republican and steeped in corruption and favouritism. Such was the distance between the State and him that he was executed for this reason.When it was the time of Plato, his student, follower and friend, Plato instituted the Academy and moved classes from the Socrates' wonted market place to a fixed walled space which had the novelty of teachers coming to a fixed place where students only needed to go and where classes progressed according to a predetermined syllabus, all these replacing the ancient system of students residing with the teacher in his house, and later coming to be known as the academic system of education. Knowledge became such fashionable that the aristocratic Athenian noble young men could not be married away if they had not studied in the Academy. Socrates, through Plato was nearing the State.Though the Greek school of thought from Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Alexander to Anaximander was each one of them brilliant, Aristotle was the most lucky to get equipped with what Socrates predicted as the prerequisite essential for building a model republic - a soldier student. In his times the Academician thoughts had become such pervasive and persuasive that the King Philip of the just-across-the-strait semi barbarian state of Macedonia invited Aristotle to be the teacher of his intelligent son Alexander. The rest is history. Thus Socrates became the State just in three generations which was fast. Thus in achieving his objectives Socrates was a good philosopher.
