Was Socrates' naive inquisitiveness superior to every other

Socrates's charlatanism was a shit stain on western philosophy that still hasn't gone away. Plato's complete ineptitude at systemizing his thought is Exhibit Alpha-Omega of this. I would have gladly voted for his execution.

But mechanism is a load of shit. All of the conclusions he arrived at were ridiculous.

>>1060941
But what even is superiority?

>>1060995
maybe you are right, i haven't actually read Descartes, i just like to shitpost on here a bit.

>naive inquisitiveness
Did you even read Plato? Socrates style is far from naive, its pure trickery under naive pretences >>1060974

>superior
why would it be?

>to every other philosophers' doctrinal treatises?
If you mean superior in a literal sense then Nietzsche's are far superior. He seems to popularly represent a paradigm shift, like Plato did.

This is the only suitable punishment for such an impious ne'er-do-well.

There's a reason Nietzche called him Socrates the Python.

Sorry it was not python, it was demon.

Even Euripides was, in a certain sense, only a
mask : the deity that spoke through him was
neither Dionysus nor Apollo, but an altogether
new-born demon, called Socrates.

libertarianism?

"But in Socrates was philosophy not a free discussion among friends? Is it not, as the conversation of free men, the summit of Greek sociability? In fact, Socrates constantly made all discussion impossible, both in the short form of the contest of questions and answers and in the long form of a rivalry between discourses. He turned the friend into the friend of the single concept, and the concept into the pitiless monologue that eliminates the rivals one by one."

I wouldn't call it so much naive inquisitiveness as passive aggressive dickheadery.
