Socratic paradoxes

Socratic paradoxes are statements attributed to Socrates that challenge common beliefs about knowledge, ethics, and human behavior. One key example is "No one does wrong willingly," suggesting that people commit wrong acts out of ignorance rather than malice. Another is "Knowledge is virtue," implying that truly understanding what is good leads to good actions. These paradoxes provoke thought about whether knowledge and morality are interconnected, encouraging deeper reflection on human motivation and decision-making, emphasizing that understanding often goes beyond mere opinion or belief.
