It's a wonderful world. Now he's born in moderate means, his mother was a midwife, his father was a sculptor. Socrates thought that he was a soldier at a certain point who fought very valiantly with a lot of courage, saved a lot of lives, did a lot of great things but then he wants to be a philosopher. Now a philosopher is basically somebody, it literally means lover of wisdom who is seeking out answers to truth. They're seeking out answers about the existence of life or about knowledge in different subject areas or value or reason and at that time period most philosophers were called sophists and sophists like Protagoras who was one of the more famous ones of his day were really people that were paid teachers. They were people that believed there was no universal truth. There was really only man and that man was the measure of all things and Socrates kind of disagrees with that.
