Comparison of Socrates’ and Plato’s Philosophies

Conduct a comparative analysis of Plato and Socrates and their philosophical concepts.

Compare Socrates and Plato, using one primary source for each and one secondary source for each; for each event or figure that you include in the comparison, do the following:

  • Briefly describe the event or figure (including references),
  • Indicate what the significance or defining characteristics are for that event or figure, and why they are important.

Consider whether the figure or event forms part of a pattern in Greco-Roman history, with an introduction, thesis, and conclusion.
