Nietzsche seems tо gо оut of his wаy to insult Socrаtes, cаlling him ugly and poor (plebeian, a commoner) repeatedly in our short reading. This is a type of argument which is considered a fallacy (an invalid form of argument) called ad hominem or attacking the person. Rather than addressing Socrates' ideas, he attacks the person himself (ad hominem literally means "to the man"). After reflecting on Nietzsche's text, and the philosophical tradition we've read so far in our course, why do you think Nietzsche would do this? What is he attempting to accomplish in attacking Socrates in this particular way? In order to receive full credit, your response must be at least 250 words long and clearly demonstrate that you have 1) done the reading and 2) critically reflected on the ideas contained in the reading and/or lecture.
