Why was Socrates sentenced to death?
He was sentenced to death because he was accused of corrupting the youth and being an atheist. He also didn’t make many friends with his view on virtue and truth, he used philosophy to prove his point and to prove that the people that said they knew everything really knew nothing, which also didn’t make him many friend. He didn’t fear death, “ Death and philosophy have this in common: death separates the soul from the body; philosophy draws off the mind from bodily things to the contemplation of truth and virtue.” His last words to his friend Crito, “Crito,we owe cock to Asclepius; pay it, therefore; and do not neglect it.” Asclepius was a god of medicine, a healer and death was his cure.
Why is there a conflict (for some) between science and religion?
I think there is a conflict between science and religion because there are disagreements about certain topics. Religion is based on your faith and science is based on observation and research. Many people believe that the stories in the Bible are fact, whereas science has proven that some things in the Bible are not true. Like the Allegory of the Cave, the prisoners in the cave only know the shadows to be the real and only thing (faith). The one prisoner that was freed saw the real world( science), but if he went back to tell the other prisoners they wouldn’t understand or believe him because the shadows are all the know and they believe that the shadows are the real thing.
