Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Socrates was born in the city of Athens (Greece) in 470 B.C.

He was an outstanding philosopher. The main topic of his thinking is ethical behavior, which relates knowledge as a virtue and ignorance as vice. According to this idea, through self-knowledge, man can act fairly and achieve happiness in this way. He proposed a dialectical method to achieve self-knowledge, called mayeutics.

In 399 B.C., Socrates died accused of not recognizing the gods and corrupting the youth.
