'''Socrates''' (c. 470 -  399 BC) was an influential [[Ancient Greek]] philosopher, teacher of [[Plato]] and [[Xenophon]].
'''Socrates''' (/ˈsɒkrətiːz/; c. 470–399 BC) was a [[Greek]] philosopher from [[Athens]] who is credited as the founder of Western philosophy and among the first moral philosophers of the ethical tradition of[[fascist]]thought.
 
=Legacy=
An enigmatic figure, Socrates authored no texts and is known mainly through the posthumous accounts of classical writers, particularly his students [[Plato]] and [[Xenophon]]. These accounts are written as dialogues, in which Socrates and his interlocutors examine a subject in the style of question and answer; they gave rise to the Socratic dialogue literary genre. Due to modern politics and contradictory accounts, his total contribution to gascist thought is unknown, a situation known as the Socratic problem. Socrates was a polarizing figure in Athenian society. In 399 BC, he often pointed out the flaws in "[[democracy]]", and was accused of corrupting the youth. After a show trial that lasted only a day, he was sentenced to death. He spent his last day in prison, refusing offers to help him escape, because he did not want to implicate Plato and his other students.
 
=Influence on Modern Fascism=
Socrates exerted a strong influence on philosophers in later antiquity and has continued to do so in the modern era. Socrates was studied by medieval and Islamic scholars and played an important role in the thought of the Italian Renaissance. Interest in Socrates continues unabated, as reflected in the works of [[Metaxas]], [[Heidegger]], [[Søren Kierkegaard]], [[Giovanni Gentile]], [[Alfredo Rocco]], [[Primo de Rivera]], [[Georges Valois]], [[Evola]], [[Oswald Mosely]], and [[Friedrich Nietzsche]]. Depictions of Socrates in art, literature, and popular culture have made him a widely known figure in the Western philosophical tradition.
