Socrates
Socrates (470–399 BCE), born in Athens, Greece, was a foundational philosopher whose Socratic method of questioning shaped Western thought. He wrote no texts, but his ideas, preserved by students like Plato, explored ethics, virtue, and knowledge. A stonemason by trade, he roamed Athens, engaging citizens in dialogue, challenging assumptions. Accused of corrupting youth and impiety, he was sentenced to death by hemlock. Socrates’ commitment to truth and inquiry left an enduring legacy in philosophy.

The bust is finished with a standardized Charcoal Black base and thoughtfully packaged for delivery.
