On the basis of psychological observation and analysis of the moral sense of mankind, Socrates arrived by the method referred to the following conclusions:
a) The duty of man and the most proper use of his powers, is to investigate the property, and conform his conduct to the moral good once known. The self-knowledge, and the constant effort to master their passions and evil inclinations, subject to reason, is the means to achieve this result, that is to acquire moral perfection, in which consists the true happiness of man in land.
b) Prudence, justice, temperance or moderation of sensitive lusts and strength, are the four main virtues are needed for moral perfection of man, which will be more perfect in that order, the more he resembles God in their actions, because God is the epitome of virtue and moral perfection. At trial and divine truth itself, the rule must be found that moral perfection, real and true notion of virtue, but not in the opinion of the masses and the masses: [205] Nobis curamdum non est, quid of loquantur multi nobis, sed quid dicat is unus, qui et intelligit just unfair, atque ipsa veritas.
The important thing, added one of your Socrates in Plato's dialogues (62), is not living but living well (non esse multi faciendum vivere, sed bene vivere), or live under the rules of moral rectitude and justice. In keeping with these rules or moral principles, we must take revenge for the injuries, nor return evil for evil, we must precede justice and love of country and laws to all other things, not excluding children, parents and life itself.
c) involves the idea justice and the fulfillment of our duties to others, being the main part of these duties the observance and obedience to human laws or positive, and also the unwritten laws, namely the natural law anterior and superior to those and root of all justice, but above all the sacrifice all of us and our belongings to the motherland, and unconditional submission to the judges and perfect.
d) The piety and prayer are two important virtues, through whom tribute to God honor and reverence, while we seek the solution for your needs. The best prayer is the resignation in adversity, and submission to divine will.
e) The order, harmony and beauty that shine in the world and man, attest and demonstrate [206] the existence of a supreme God, first author of the moral law and its ultimate sanction. God is an intelligent and invisible, which is manifested and revealed in its effects: his providence embraces all things, and particularly exercised over man, it is everywhere, sees all things and penetrates the most secret thoughts of man .
f) The instability and misery of every kind that weigh on the present life, would make despicable and loathsome, if there were an afterlife in which, disappearing these evils, the soul to reach full possession of the property. The right must have unlimited confidence in God, whose providence not abandon him in death.
