ith his name and wisdom still well-known many centuries after his death, Socrates obviously made a large contribution to civilization. If he lived in these days, would he have made use of Twitter to share his philosophical thoughts? If he did, here are ten tweets you might expect to see posted on his Twitter feed.
- “Teachings of philosophy cannot be limited to 140 characters!” Socrates, although humble, believed that he was a divine emissary that all should abide.
- “What the hell happened to my Greece?” A passionate patriot for his homeland, Socrates would be deeply saddened with the financial crisis existing there now.
- “If world leaders were philosophers, they would see their errors long before they chose to act upon them.” Socrates maintained that only philosophers of inherent intellect had the true right to governmental leadership.
- “I’m moving to the United States where I may speak freely of their corrupt government without the threat of hemlock wine.” An avid critic of politics, Socrates was deemed defiant of the Athenian government and put to death, via hemlock poison.
