Socratic education consisted in a series of steps in the formation of man by testing people, telling them to take care of their souls and make much of αρετη : human excellence. Along the way of this education he caused a great shock to people; people experiencing this shock reacted in different ways. In that sense, it meant the climax of socratic education. Now, what is precisely the content of this shock?(1) Socrates shocks people by declaring that they are ignorant about the essence of arêtê. In this case, people experience a great shock by becoming aware that they do not know about the essence of αρετη which they ought to know, and when they are told, “you are not good citizens”.But there is also another shock : (2) Alcibiades is made aware of his self-contradiction that he does not do the good deed which he ought to do if he were a good citizen. He experiences a great shock realizing that his self is divided into three selves and that these are in conflict with each other.From the content of this shock, the soul according to Socrates, consists of three selves and the care of soul means philosophizing about the normative wisdom of αρεη and harmonizing one self with the two other selves by wisdom. This is Socrates' formation of man, education.Socrates educates people by following several steps : In doing to, he himself stands always one step higher than his partner - in this sense he is a good educator. Judging from these facts, the substance of socratic education consists in the task of harmonizing the three selves by letting people arrive at the wisdom of the better norm.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the process of becoming an Educater Socrates, who was a student of Nature.Socrates criticized the theory of Anaxagoras. This suggests that in his study of Nature, Socrates holds a new idea which contains problems of man, and also overcomes the situation of sophism.But on the way, knowing the Delphic oracle, he stopped the study of Nature and devoted himself to the interpretation of this oracle. Then he began the dialogue. He applied to the dialogue “the ignorant consciousness about the genuine cause and reason” of which he awared in his study of Nature. Confirming the human ignorance by this way, he began the human-testing. But he was confronted with the dilemma, in which he had to bear the “Sophia”, while he had to stop even this bearing and to rescue the “Polis” by awakening the people of “Polis”.This dilemma makes Socrates a maieutic Educater.
