The Sophists were traveling teachers in ancient Athens who charged fees to educate wealthy citizens. They believed that truth was subjective and depended on circumstances rather than absolutes. This contradicted Socrates' view that morality could be objectively defined. Socrates used questioning dialogues to expose contradictions in people's beliefs and advance his view that virtue and wisdom come from seeking moral truths. However, his criticism of Athenian society led to his trial and execution by poisoning, establishing him as one of the founders of Western philosophy.
Socrates is a Greek classical philosopher of the golden age of Greek, Athens. Socrates eponymous names, method, paradox, problem, irony, questioning and all. In this presentation you will find Plato, Aristophanes and Xenophon's contributions to Socrates and his trial and life. So, watch and share. Thank You

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Socrates is, basically, the father of Western
philosophy
He never wrote down any of his teachings, his
student, Plato, did this for him
Socrates’ philosophy arose out of his negative
feelings in relation to the teaching of the
Sophists . . .
3. Eh, sorry! I thought
this class was about
Socrates?
WHO ARE THE
SOPHISTS?!!
4. Who were they?
Intelligent men, who travelled from place to
place, teaching subjects like
grammar, rhetoric (debating, argument, logic)
and literature
Athens was an emerging democratic centre
and educated people were needed
The Sophists charged for their
services, usually employed by the wealthy and
powerful – what the Sophists taught was in
demand
5. What was their philosophy?
The Sophists were concerned with the individual and
the individual’s place in the world
Protagoras: ‘Man is the measure of all things’
Led to the belief that the difference between good and
evil cannot be known
◦ It all depended on the circumstances – the Theory of Relativity
The sophists believed other concepts of truth and justice
were products of habit and circumstance
◦ Created by those in power to suit their own interests
‘Justice is simply the interest of the stronger’
~Thrasymachus
6. Truth was not the most important issue but
rather the ability to persuade your audience of
the truth of your position
- this is how they taught their students
The sophists’ philosophy created tensions in Athens
◦ They suggested there were no absolute norms for right or
wrong
◦ This contributed to a breakdown in moral order
◦ The distinction between good and evil was no longer clear
◦ He who could argue the best won out (or he who could pay
a Sophist the most to argue won out)
Socrates had enough of the Sophists . . .
7. Born around 470 B. C.
Lived in Athens at the height of its civilisation
Described as a very ugly man, who often walked barefoot and
wore the same kind of clothes whatever the weather
Excellent soldier – he had great physical power and could
endure a lot
He was a very disciplined person
He was interested in the development of a person’s moral
character
He lived a virtuous life
8. Socrates was concerned with the question of
ETHICS (moral behaviour)
Unlike the Sophists, he believed that there was
definite right and wrong
He believed that people could accept it and apply it
into their daily lives
He said that it was up to people (society), as a
whole, to establish those things that are right and
those that are wrong
Dedicated his life to searching for standards by
which people could live a virtuous/good life
9. Socrates was also concerned with justice
◦ He wanted life to be fair for all
◦ It was a person’s duty to explore the truth
regarding right and wrong, justice and
injustice, courage and cowardice
◦ He worked to find principles and laws that
all could live by and be happy
Universal: these truths would be applicable
for all people, at any time, everywhere and
in all cases
10. Socrates' style was distinctive
◦ He questioned people through discussions or dialogues
◦ He chose people who were experts in their field and who
fully understood the topic being discussed
◦ He adopted the role of ignorant questioner
Pretended he did not know and wanted to be
educated
◦ He asked tactful questions which would bring the
experts to a dead end – they would run out of
answers
This showed them, and others, that they did not have
all the answers and, so, were not experts
Therefore, the aim of this method was to get to the
truth of how a person could live a good, moral life
11. Through the dialogues, Socrates wanted to
discover people’s views on living a moral, just life
Socrates urged people to question what they are
being told, as well as their beliefs – question
EVERYTHING
Socrates, himself, learned through this process
and developed his own philosophy from this
method
12. The SOUL
The soul is hugely important in his philosophy
◦ Had to be nurtured and protected
◦ Gaining wisdom would save the soul
◦ This would lead the person to living a virtuous life
‘Knowing what is good is the same as doing
what is good.’ ~ Socrates
◦ Believed people would not willingly do wrong
◦ No-one wants to be a bad person
◦ Later philosophers would disagreed with him
◦ They said that a person might know what is right but may
not be strong enough or disciplined enough to do
13. Socrates believed that an action is right when it
promotes humanity’s true happiness
Socrates spoke of alcohol
◦ Drunkenness – only short term pleasure is gained
Whatever you are escaping from, when you drink, will come
back
◦ Drunkenness - has long term effects
Leads to ill health
Can enslave the body – become addicted to it
◦ The drinking of alcohol goes against reason – why would
you willingly want to damage your body?
◦ Alcohol and drunkenness does not produce true pleasure –
the negative effects far outweigh the temporary happiness
Socrates believed true pleasure could only be
attained through living a moral life . . .
14. Socrates was executed in 399 B. C.
Saw Athens was in danger of destruction
Became critical of the government
He was a social and moral critic
He attempted to improve the Athenians' sense of justice
His pursuit of virtue and his strict adherence to truth
clashed with Athenian society
He claimed he was the wiser one since he was the only
person aware of his own ignorance
Put on trial and found guilty
◦ heresy
◦ corrupting the minds of the youth
15. Socrates was forced to drink a lethal poison
He was given the opportunity to escape
However, he chose not to escape, drank the poison
and died . . .
16. Virtue (knowledge) is the most valuable of
all things
Life should be spent in search of goodness.
Truth is possible to achieve
People should focus on self-development
rather than material wealth
It is the job of the philosopher to show
people how little they really know
An action is right when it promoted true
happiness
17. Boo, hoo! My best
buddy is dead! I
don’t want to be
poisoned, so time
to leave Greece
for a while . . .
You’ll learn all
about me next
week . . .
