The Death of Socrates by Jacques-Louis David, 1787, depicts the philosopher Socrates as he is about to take poison hemlock as ordered by the court.
A philosopher is a person who contemplates the great mysteries of life and why things are the way they are. Many great philosophers were also scientists.
