Describe and explain the underlying philosophy of knowledge that guided Socrates' method of knowledge

Need help with this one please!


Unlike the great pre-Socratic thinkers, Socrates was less concerned with the physics of the natural world than with the psychology of the mind.
- He developed his own methods of searching for knowledge based on the underlying intuition that all things have an intelligent cause directed toward what is best.
- Socrates brought philosophy "out of the clouds and into the market place," into the cities and houses of people.
- He loved the exploration and interplay of ideas in discussions with others, and through these experiences, he developed the Socratic Method.
