Socratic Concept of Ethics and It’s Relevance in Practical Life Dr. Dipen Tayung Asstt. Professor, Deptt. Of Philosophy Bhattadev University, Bajali, Pathsala Abstract Socrates is probably the well known name in the western philosophical tradition. He was more interested in the problem of human motivation and conduct. Human conduct is the main subject matter of ethics. Socrates did not see man as simply the product of the blind process of nature but conceived him as the author of his own destiny. He did not believe that man was at the mercy forces he could not control, but assume that there was scope and place for both human goodness and human reason. According to him all human actions are purposeful rather than simply mechanical. It is the basis of both his epistemology and ethics. Socrates was a critique of customary morality. His critical stands defined his philosophical practice which investigated the foundations of customary beliefs. The basic questions of Socrates are related with ethics. These questions are related to our live, way of living, best sort of life, etc, and also how is it to be achieved?. He used to say that an unexamined life is not worth living for human beings.
