The first psychoanalyst in the world was the philosopher Socrates and his disciples - Plato, and later Aristotle. The dialectic of Socrates is the Foundation of Freud's psychoanalysis.

The syllogism about a mortal man named Socrates is false, because Socrates can be both a man and a being X who is eternal.

According to Plato, a philosopher is a man who left a cave and found three-dimensional truth instead of two-dimensional lies.

People  have  lived  and  are  still  living  in  caves…  Caves  have  just  become  more  comfortable,  and  shadows  on  their  walls  are  now  in  color  and  three-dimensional.

Socrates said I know I don't know anything. I suffer that I know nothing and know nothing to escape from suffering.

I  know  everything  about  stupidity,  I’M  THE  MOST  STUPID  AND  IGNORANT  PERSON  ON  EARTH.  Socrates  was  cunning  and  hypocritic,  while  i’m  sincerely  saying  –I’M  STUPID. 

Socratic dialogue is student dialogue. Teach me the truth, Socrates says to his master and teaches him himself.

The  meaning  of  Socrat’s  ‘I  don’t  know’  is  that  I’m  full  of  nothingness,  and  my  nothingness  is  full  of  knowledge  and  is  ready  to  cognize.  This  is  why  ‘I  have  faith  in  you’  and  ‘I  admire  your  knowledge’  is  primary,  tell  it  to  me,  teach  me  truth.  However,  to  admit  truth,  you  have  to  become  aware  of  it  and,  to  do  that,  you  will  have  to  ask  many  questions.  Will  you  be  able  to  protect  your  truth  and  prove  me  that  it  is  truth?

In  announcing  his  ignorance,  Socrates  praised  the  knowledge  of  his  interlocutor  and  asked  the  latter  to  explain  him  what  he  thought  of  truth.  Then,  by  asking  leading  questions  and  pretending  to  be  asking  to  explain  that  to  him,  he  would  gradually  make  that  person  realize  he  know  nothing  about  truth.  Socrates  would  point  out  to  his  interlocutors  the  logical  inconsistencies  and  contradictions  of  their  knowledge  about  truth.  Specifically,  he  would  first  praise  his  interlocutor’s  point  of  view,  would  flatter  and  admire  him  and  then  would  just  ask  the  person  to  interpret  it  and  answer  questions.

The essence of Socratic dialogue is to ask truthful and sarcastic questions that force a person to face the truth. For example, you can ask a person how he sees himself, and then show him that his behavior says that in fact he is his opposite, thereby causing contradiction and pain, motivate the person to change in order to eliminate the conflict.

He taught us not to fear prison and death.

Socratic dialogue works only for those who do not know what Socratic dialogue is.  Otherwise, it's a lot like an insult.

Plato said that man lives in the cave of the mind and sees only the shadows of reality.  This is true, but you should know that reality also lives in a cave, its mind, where it can only see the shadows of ideal images generated by the human mind.

Cunning, proud people use the technique of Socratic dialogues to try to win an argument.  Unknown to these people, this method was used by Socrates to find the truth, and not to prove a lie.

I read from Franklin that using the technique of Socratic dialogue is a sample of bad taste.  Franklin used this technique for a couple of years as a child, and then noticed that unnecessary and unfair victories are not useful.

I read from Franklin that in humility he recommends taking the example of Jesus and Socrates.  It is believed that Socrates was the prototype of Jesus and very close to him in spirit

Plato spoke of attention to the whole; Aristotle paid attention to details.  The Stoics said that the moral determines the physical.  The Stoics said that the whole and the details are inseparable.

Plato once said that philosophers should govern the state.  And so it happened.

Socrates wrote:  "What I have understood is beautiful, and from this I conclude that the rest of what I have not understood is also beautiful."  The point is that there is no darkness.  Everything is beauty.  The night sky is perfectly white when viewed through a telescope.  I liked a lot of Gutseriev's poems, I extracted thousands of thoughts from them... but I didn't understand even more.  There are many reasons for this.  Gutseriev's poems are a reflection of the real world, and reality, as we remember, is unknowable.  You can endlessly explore the world, and there is no limit to its perfection.  Moreover, the more you know, the greater your ignorance becomes.  So here, too, I didn't understand much, but what I did understand is fine, and I'm willing to bet that what I didn't understand is fine no less.  In order not to be unfounded, here is a very short list of what I have understood.

Socrates suggested using the method of dialogue and questions to find the truth.  And many people try to use it to prove their point of view to win an argument, to discredit the interlocutor, or to hide their ignorance.  In other words, we are talking about substituting the purpose of applying the method.

You know less, you sleep better.  Less is stronger than more.  On the other hand, we all know that if you do not engage in self-deception, then the more you know, the greater your ignorance.  Socrates said that he knew, that he knew nothing.  Thus, the more a person knows, the Greater his ignorance and, therefore, the Greater his power.  They say knowledge is power, but that's a lie.  Ignorance is power.

As noticed  Plato, a man sits with his back to the cave entrance and looks at the world through his reflection on the wall.  It should be understood that this image will be turned inside out and upside down.  All words are reversed.

According to Plato, a person is used to seeing a shadow (inverted)  truths, that is, lies.  However, if you turn around and look at the truth, the light of truth will easily blind a person, turning him into a madman.  What to do?  No need to turn anywhere.  Hope and logic are enough for you to restore the truth.

Remember  Plato...  Reason is the charioteer, and passion is the devil who is saddled.  A man thinks and a horse thinks.  What does the horse think?  About passions, food, Sex, Fear, the Justice of being and their grievances.  The horse is prone to reflection.

The Common Cause will prosper when philosophers rule.  And the rulers will be engaged in philosophy.

The truth is very simple and banal.  The universe is a point.  Fools consider truth to be a terrible folly, and so we call them fools.  Fools are the ones who are the smartest and know everything.  Those who are merely clever, such as Socrates, knew far fewer fools.

According to the covenants  According to Plato, the state should be ruled by philosophers.  Chinese philosophy also agrees with Plato.  Inner wisdom and outer royalty are inseparable.

Platonic love for God, vices and other good people perfectly saves from sexual passion.

Material  Platonic and ideal  Kant's laws are of the same nature, and obey the same law, the law of Tao.

The laws of nature and the laws of consciousness are of the same nature, so there is no contradiction between the realism of Plato and the idealism of Kant, except the ignorance of those who do not understand the essence of these two phenomena.

The essence of benevolence is to recognize right as right and wrong as wrong.  Enlightenment is the attainment of benevolence.  Every person intuitively knows what is good and what is bad.  The intuition of all people is one.  Intuition is a common emptiness.

Not only  Spartacus was originally from Thrace (Bulgaria), but also the gods Orpheus and Bacchus, who through  Plato influenced the entire philosophy of Christianity and the world at large.

The two extremes connect through platonic love.  I platonically love wine, but I don't physically drink it.  Perhaps out of respect for one sip or diluted one to ten.

By proving to people that they are fools, Socrates tried to pacify their pride and arrogance, thereby saving them from suffering.  That was the point and the good.

Temptations and vices should be loved platonically, that is, contemplatively, without trying to master them and touch them with your hands.  Vice is good in homeopathic doses.

Platonic love is the love of content, that is, of the idea.  Pride is attachment to form and lust for power over form.

According to  According to Plato, ideas are the only truth of our reality.  Even we ourselves are an illusion.  Thus, the meaning of our being is the service of truth.  The search for truth is the search for an idea that can be loved, and this idea will become our infinite source of strength and energy.  The love of ideas is what inspires life into our souls.

Plato said that real objects are shadows of ideals.  But it seems to me that this is an ideal-the shadow of a real object.  After all, this ideal is created in the human consciousness as a reflection of reality.

According to  According to Plato, philosophy transforms man into God.  Philosophy is the path of infinite perfection of the spirit.  Only philosophers go to heaven after death and are happy in life.  The perfectly wise are joyful, as Confucianism teaches us.  Philosophers are souls whose knowledge has quieted fear and bred faith.  A person whose faith is in decline is doomed to suffer, as any Christian, Muslim and religious person in general will tell you.  The decline of faith is despondency, that is, depression, doubt, suffering, impotence, an acute shortage of happiness and joy.

According to  According to Plato, the stupidest people turn into fish.  It is said that Jesus considered it his duty to fight ignorance, was a catcher of men, turning fish into people through the restoration of their sight and the ability to see the real world and the truth.  Pisces run away from reality into the world of their underwater illusions and ignorance.  Although, perhaps, fish is just food, and the object of Christianity are birds and animals.  On the other hand, Pisces were always the last and most disenfranchised.  And Jesus promised us that the last would be the first.

Variothoughts follow wherever argument can lead her.  In this endeavor, syntalism follows the principles of Free Will and information, as well as the ideas of Socrates, who commanded us not to be afraid of the truth.

Plato said:  "Wisdom, not knowledge."  Aristotle said:  "Knowledge, not wisdom."  I love  Plato and Aristotle are the same, so I agree with both of them.

The   meaning   of   God   is   to   teach   a   person   to   love.   To   love   selflessly   and   platonically.   To   love   without   lust   for   power   and   pleasure.   To   love   always,   and   not   only   when   something   is   needed.

Idea  Plato's recollection is good.  Remembering what you have forgotten is much easier than learning what is not available.  When you remember, you just need a hint and a random association to remember.  All the information available in space is already in a person's head, he only needs keys to remember.  These keys are questions, associations, some information flows and phenomena.  The idea of recollection makes any information freely available to us through intuitive insights.

To subdue neurosis, one must discover the poetic in oneself.  You need to focus on the real beauty of the flower.  I need to stop asking stupid questions.  Where did the flower come from?  When will he die?  Why is it red and not green?  It is advisable not to touch the flower with your hands and not try to eat it or sniff it.  Many flowers are protected  from destruction and can be poisonous.  To subdue neurosis is to learn platonic love.

Strong love is not good.  Strong love is a solvent and a devourer.  Easy platonic love will be enough.

Knowledge of the good is knowledge of the proper.  Ignorance is the lack of knowledge of what is due.

You should never promise a specific result, you can only talk about the possibility.
