Socrates famously declared at his trial that 'the unexamined life is not worth living. ' For him, truth was the only thing that mattered, and the only way to find it was through 'Elenchus'—the Socratic Method of persistent questioning. He believed that truth is hidden beneath layers of social convention, ego, and false assumptions. He teaches that we must be willing to dismantle our own beliefs to find the bedrock of reality, regardless of the discomfort it causes.
