Socrates: an ancient psychologist

Socrates figure of philosopher is very famous (died in 399b.Ch.), but I want in this assay consider a character of his research of truth of everyone; he, following the witnesses, asked in plate of Athens, or in ancient Greek άγορά, through constant askes and logic, he determined contradictions and failed, therefore the theory of presumable philosopher failed all. But I think that his inquiry was certainly to research a rational method of inquiry, without contradictions, and after, I think that he was researching enter to soul of pupils, although he has considered herself a pupils and no certainly a master; but meaningful of some question, as γνώθι σαυτϖν this is, know yourself, it is the first inquiry about a human nature that we have, because Socrates wanted suggest to man: “What is your truth and why it is so?”, but Socrates known perfectly that every think is from brain and this is bounded to with; the Egyptian medicine had made much discoveries; and he known that every think is direct from intellect; therefore every think is from a size of wit; Socrates discovered man, but mankind, and his habit and way to think. He with contradictions of others he wanted taught the logic of think, rationality, coherence and rigor; he wanted teach first your with and after with rationality research of philosophical theory, but through the rationality limit that wit, his with in fact was very calm when he could escape from Athens, but  he want give last teaching, he with extreme clam affronted his end drinking the hemlock; I want consider that it was last teaching of Socrates, in front of death he die, although Crito give him possibility of escape; he refused and he took the death; I think that it is definitive teaching of Socrates; although in tragic context we must keep no alone calm but rationality, and consider that the death is natural to mankind. This think is conformed from other philosophical book but of Aristoteles, Nicomachean ethic, when the same philosopher said about the wit and human choice that are determined from wit; thereupon interest to psychological nature was evident; Socrates is first that discovered all mankind, included hide and emotive conditions; and he bore it to philosophical knowledge; may alone intuitive certainly, but it is a beginning, he could called the first psychologic of history.
