Γνωθι σαυτόν trough others

The Socratic words this is the know yourself, is a motto that Socrates(b.Ch.469-399) has took from the temple of Apollo in Delphi, and he has been the first in history of philosophy, that used this advise for a knowledge of owner wit, because  you can educate yourself and know yourself that the first person that you must know, this is yourself because the first and closer person is youself that not know but the importance of Socrates is, above all, in the way that he has used this is the confront, that he has made directly to his “pupils” trough the questions that he given to everybody, because the sake was it, the knowledge of themselves, for this the questions were alone so logic, because the contradiction was the solicitation to auto knowledge, why it is important? Simple because the confront to others is fundamental to know  other and above all herself, because has Socrates the questions are necessary to know owner limit and to get over it for  to grow, it is the growth, but trough the confront is the experience for to know ourselves, why?  Because  our limit we not know, but trough the experience, h3ence the practical and external exercise, is the motive for to know until we can make something that seems difficult; we can try of overcome this difficult and solve the problems, thence we can know ourselves trough the difficult and the method that we are using that can be difficult, and in those occasions that we can know ourselves, because we can know the our reactions in front of difficult, hence we study our soul and our limits but, as Socrates, we must consider the single case that has thought to us something around our wit, and above all if we want overcome these difficult, that is the moment when we can know ourselves and above all the difficult that we must face and solve, in this occasion we can consider our interior strong and our will; thence in this moment we are studying ourselves, although unconsciously, in fact the reflection about the our reactions is always after, reflections about our courage, our intelligence and our capacity to face the difficult, hence also the capacity of our wit for to face the difficult; whereby the object of our study is ourselves, and these are the moments when we know ourselves, directly and practically, because the circumstance is real not alone theoretical and we can know also the reaction of our wit above all, thereupon the reactions that can be fair or courage. Hence Socrates has had right, and he has used other experience, that was dialogue, instead the true knowledge of ourselves occurs alone to direct experience.
