Summary/Abstract: Socrates’ image, being the ideal image of the philosopher, crosses the centuries. Socrates is the image of the philosopher that is constantly searching. During the dialogues, Socrates claimed his ignorance in teaching the others anything. But he urges his compatriots, not only to think on their own but also to discover the truth by themselves. The effort and the importance of Socrates’ attitude are to raise in people the good disquiet to search for virtue and truth. The effort Socrates makes to cast people out of indifference and superficiality must be supported by their own determination and effort to search and find the truth which is inside them.
