Socratici viri

Socratici viri is a Latin phrase (coined by Cicero)^[1]^[2] which translates as "Socrates' men"—though it is more usually used to mean "disciples of Socrates" or "followers of Socrates". These are those, usually Greeks, who owe much of their philosophical reasoning and method to Socrates. Sometimes the phrase just refers to those in the Socratic dialogues and especially Plato, though it may be extended to modern-day followers of Socrates.
