Socrates

1. A male given name from Ancient Greek of mostly historical use, known after a Greek philosopher.
   • 1996, John M. Cooper, “Introduction”, in Plato: Complete Works, Hackett, page xxii:

     Accordingly, even though readers always and understandably speak of the theories adumbrated by Socrates here as "Plato's theories", one ought not to speak of them so without some compunction--the writing itself, and also Plato the author, present these always in a spirit of open-ended exploration, and sometimes there are contextual clues indicating that Socrates exaggerates or goes what the argument truly justifies, and so on.
