The question is raised as a means by which to address man's lost quest to do the right thing, an aim that has long been both challenged and failed as far as Socrates is concerned. What makes this case particularly interesting is the extent to which his personal views are in opposition with so many of his philosophical counterparts, especially when it comes to formulating the fundamental basis of human character.
