AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Collection of Pens Dedicated to Socrates

Maita is proud to present an exclusive collection of pens inspired by great philosophers, particularly Socrates, a central figure in Western philosophy and the father of critical thinking. This series, limited to only 100 pieces, celebrates his dialogical approach, his maieutic method, and his commitment to truth.

Made in precious Italian burgundy-spotted resin and silver, the pen's design features a clip that reproduces one of philosophy's universal symbols. The band on the cap — in silver — is engraved with Socrates' profile on the front and the motto: "Only he who knows that he knows nothing is wise, not he who pretends to know and thus ignores even his own ignorance" on the back.

On the top of the cap is set a coin depicting an owl, a symbol of philosophy and wisdom, considered such by Hegel in the nineteenth century.

This collection is not only a homage to Socrates but also a recognition of his legacy in philosophical thought. Each pen is a perfect balance of elegance and meaning, ideal for those who wish to honor the pursuit of truth and the value of dialogue in everyday life.
