His philosophy made him admired by many, but also disliked by many. His theories were very controversial as he used logic and asked many questions he already knew the answers too. What made him admired was his wisdom by reason; he compelled audiences to deliver logical conclusions through problem, this was called the Socratic Method, a method he is very famous for. However, as sometimes people did not know the answer to various obvious questions, this made them seem foolish so these people detested Socrates. One of the most famous quotes is a philosophy of Socrates: “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” He was wise because he recognized his own ignorance. He was modest in the sense that despite him knowing many things about life, he still does not know everything, and whoever says they know everything is wrong. He did not lecture about what he knew. Socrates himself wrote
