Crux

  • knowledge and morality are bound (knowledge = virtue)
  • good & evil are absolute and NOT relative
  • questioning and reasoning as the only ways to reach moral truth
  • no-one knowingly desires to do evil

Sayings

The only life worth living is a good life

  • one needs to know the good and evil
  • good determined after rigorous examination
    • questioning and reasoning

Life w/o questioning & reasoning is life of ignorance/knowledge

  • unexamined life is not worth living

No man does evil

  • crisis of conscience as man knows he is doing evil
