Socrates has an important place in the history of Western philosophy and influenced other philosophers with his philosophical thoughts.

Socrates was known for opposing the political and religious authority in Athens and educating the youth. However, he was sentenced to death by the authorities in Athens on the grounds that he influenced the public and misled young people, and was executed in the spring of 399 BC.
