asSalamu aleikum wr Allah wb
“You have often heard me speak of an oracle or sign which comes to me, and is the divinity which Meletus ridicules in the indictment. This sign I have had ever since I was a child. The sign is a voice which comes to me and always forbids me to do something which I am going to do, but never commands me to do anything, and this is what stands in the way of my being a politician.” — Socrates, Plato’s Apology
What is or was the Socratic Daemon? Was it truly something only he a.s. could hear or can we hear it too but don't want to listen?
