Description

In the Agora of ancient Athens, Socrates walked barefoot and questioned everything — from justice and truth to courage and virtue. His approach to philosophy, known as the Socratic Method, was not about giving answers, but about asking the right questions. This project envisions a digital simulation where users can engage in real-time dialogue with an AI-powered Socrates. It would allow people to explore complex ideas through guided, age-adapted conversations: in schools, libraries, and even public museums. The aim is to reintroduce philosophy as a living, public conversation that teaches people how to think critically and reflect deeply. This entry supports SDG 4.7 by promoting education that encourages civic awareness, ethics, and inclusive dialogue.
