1.) Justify the importance of concept of knowledge and virtue according to Socrates to
understand the my self,his/her self,their self and the self of society as whole.

The importance of concept of knowledge and virtue according to Socrates to understand the
myself his/her self, thier self and the self of society as whole is knowledge is virtue ” is one of
Socrates’ beliefs, according to Socrates, “knowledge and virtue were the same things.” For
him, ‘knowledge’ is nothing but a concept or a truth that has a universal appeal the way it (a
particular concept) exists around the world, having a responsibility built in it, to do or to bring
good for the existing concepts. In general, knowledge is a virtue that we should know what is
good for us and virtue is something that is a good or something is right The reason behind
linking virtue with knowledge is that (for Socrates) virtue comes with knowledge, which means
one cannot perform a wrong doing having the knowledge of it––Socrates says that the state
of not having the knowledge of a wrong doing or treating an evil as good is an outcome of
ignorance According to Socrates, a person does not do any evil work knowing that it is an evil
work; but knowing it as a good action. Socrates states, “to know the good is to the good” and
virtues are a kind of knowledge, clamined that, it is better to be wronged then to do wrong. It is
paradoxical because at one level it gives semantic range of term ‘arete’ to say that
knowledge is an excellence is innocuous but the claim implies that virtue is not possible without
knowledge and that all you need for virtue is knowledge, that everything in the universe is
innately connected; if one thing is known then potentially everything can be derived from one
truth that involves the virtual on one as a whole on other knowledge is like the other virtue
should we keep and to remind always, we should use it not to seek advantages over others but
to share make them better individual, thus knowledge is creation of virtue that should
understand.
