SOCRATES' WISDOM.

Does everyone agree that the senses are an integral component in the search of Wisdom? Socrates is the one who would not agree with it.
Socrates, in the Phaedo, argues that the senses do not grasp reality in any way and try to detour us from our path of wisdom. He believed that a philosopher's concern is not with the body but with the soul.
Socrates was a philosopher who spent his entire life searching for Truths that make up knowledge.
Socrates believed that there was a division between the body and the soul. The body with all its needs (food, drink, sex, material acquisitions, and wealth) was an obstacle and at the same time useless in the search for knowledge. It is like an evil tomb that imprisons our goodness and will try to fool it at every opportunity it can when we try to learn the Truth.
Socrates stated that human beings cannot rely on their senses in any way as a source of knowledge because they do not grasp reality and information from them varies, and it is always changing and constantly deteriorating and things get worse with time. The body with its sensory-based system is what causes war, civil discord, and battles, and our worries with these pursuits keep us from wisdom.
If we want knowledge, Socrates said, we must not pay attention to the sensible world because we will always ended up playing catch up.
Knowledge to Socrates was never changing, and the only way the soul can truly know the Truth is when it is by itself, separated from the body as much as possible. The further we get from the sensible world the closer we are to the Truth.
The body, Socrates said, is of the imperfect, sensible world, while the soul is of the perfect, real world. The sensible world that we see all around is only an illusion. The real world is invisible to us, but it is where the Form exist.
The Forms are entities that provide us with standards, and make up the real world. They cannot be seen or felt, but they make up reality. They are perfect, unchangeable, and eternal and are the standards by which we recognize things in this illusionary world.
Socrates claimed that in another type of life, our souls existed with the Forms in the real world and from participating with them, our souls gathered all the knowledge that is possible to possess. The only thing we need to do is to remember all that has been forgotten, proving that knowledge is still inside our souls and is independent of our sensory capabilities.
The closer we are to the world of Forms and Knowledge the better will be our understanding of the sensible world since the sensible world resembles the world of the Forms. To acquire knowledge, we do not have to appeal to some external activity, we do not have to go to somebody to ask for his knowledge. We must look inside ourselves, and try to remember.
