Week 1 Discussion Question

Question

In the Apology, Socrates tells us that he would rather die than stop practicing philosophy because philosophy is the way in which we care for our inner selves.  How, according to Socrates, does philosophy help us to care for our inner selves?  Do you think he is correct that philosophy can do this?
