The sophists, Socrates, and his followers

Continuing this series, which has seen interest and follow-up from specialists and groups interested in Western thought and philosophy; this part of Dr. Al-Tayeb Bou Azzah's project comes to complete his insightful reading of Western philosophical thought in its Greek era, where his research focuses on Athens' most prominent philosopher "Socrates" who was contested by various philosophical sects. The importance of "Socrates" lies in being the ideal image of the "teacher," or in other words, being the first to be able to bring philosophical reasoning down to questioning capable of performing the function of teaching philosophy by providing awareness as a competence of questioning and self-thinking. "Socrates" gained a high rank in Western philosophical discourse, as he was an inspiring model for the philosopher who lives his life and dedicates his death for the sake of idea and philosophy, which prompted the author to explore the nature of his thought and the type of cognitive contribution he added to Greek knowledge.
