For the Greek philosopher Socrates born in Athens, one of the most influential philosophers of the history of philosophy is probably not exaggerated.
Prior to his philosophers, he focused more on nature, himself focused on man and collecting. He created a transition period in a kind of philosophy.
As Socrates says, many of you are probably the first to come to the famous promise: "The only thing I know is that I do not know anything." It will be. For example, God's approach to existence is like this: There is no way of knowing anything about the gods. Because many things prevent such information. The subject is very difficult and the human life is very short. Today, this approach is agnostic, in the theological sense, and it is also called agnostic.
This approach of Socrates shows that he is in a continuous learning period. The information we have on those terms, if we are in a person today, we are confident that the eGo has ceased, we could not interrupt in a conversation or debate. Because, for our people not to be silent, a news they hear, a newspaper they read, or a series that they think they have learned history is enough.
Besides, Socrates would not teach or tell people things. They listened more, asked questions. He found weak spots and exploits and asked again. In this way, the person on the other side was able to find the truth of the person himself, without needing to teach something.
Listening also prevents someone on your side from going into defensive mode, setting up repetitive phrases and becoming more aggressive.
Soccer, politics, women-men relations, religions, history ... and a whole lot of controversial issues. Even if you are sure that you are 100 times more knowledgeable than yours, it is often the expected situation that you can not change his mind. Instead of answering, listen. By asking him questions, make sure that he either contradicts himself with the answers he gives or that what they say is inconsistent.
