June 5 marks the birthday of Socrates (in around 469 B c), a man who was once considered the wisest in Greece. Though a great philosopher, he never wrote about his life or his ideas but left it to his student Plato. His father was a sculptor and his mother a midwife. In teaching his students, one of Socrates' major tenets was that con jjjl sc,ence should be above the law, an idea that later made its way into the mainstream of Christianity. His method of teaching was notable for its use of questions and careful cross examination, rather than lectures or an imparting of knowledge. He expected his students to think and reason.
