Socrates was an important thinker and philosopher in ancient Greece. Through dialogue, he deeply discussed many philosophical issues, including education. Socrates believes that education is not only to instill knowledge, but also to awaken the inner wisdom and morality of individuals. He advocates guiding students to think and discover the truth through dialogue and questioning, rather than simply imparting information. This heuristic teaching method was inherited and developed by later philosophers, especially Plato. Socrates' educational thought has a far-reaching influence, which has had an important impact on the educational thought of later generations.
