Say that Socrates met Max Stirner- how would he try to counter him?

Was Socrates real or a fictional character?<div class="like-perk-cnt"><img alt="" width="77" height="13" src="//s.4cdn.org/image/nofile.png"></div>

Damn, how can one man be so intellectual

Hello /lit/,
I plan on writing a book denouncing the modern education system and describing what the ideal education system would look like.
Do you happen to know of any books that touch on this subject or perhaps books on the history of education?

But anon, what is "better"? What is The Good?

Was it autism?

Disprove the following: "All philosophy, beyond the level at which the Greeks discussed, is overall obsolete on a social level."

Socrates says, “I drank what?!”

>The extant sources agree that Socrates was profoundly ugly, resembling a satyr more than a man—and resembling not at all the statues that turned up later in ancient times and now grace Internet sites and the covers of books. He had wide-set, bulging eyes that darted sideways and enabled him, like a crab, to see not only what was straight ahead, but what was beside him as well; a flat, upturned nose with flaring nostrils; and large fleshy lips like an ass. Socrates let his hair grow long, Spartan-style (even while Athens and Sparta were at war), and went about barefoot and unwashed, carrying a stick and looking arrogant. He didn’t change his clothes but efficiently wore in the daytime what he covered himself with at night. Something was peculiar about his gait as well, sometimes described as a swagger so intimidating that enemy soldiers kept their distance. He was impervious to the effects of alcohol and cold weather, but this made him an object of suspicion to his fellow soldiers on campaign.
What was his deal?

"By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher."
