The Maita Socrate fountain pen is a limited edition of 100, made from Italian resin and silver.
Description from the seller
Pen Collection Dedicated to Socrates
Maita is proud to present an exclusive collection of pens inspired by the great philosophers, particularly Socrates, a pivotal figure in Western philosophy and the father of critical thought. This series, limited to just 100 pieces, celebrates his dialogical approach, his maieutic method, and his commitment to truth.
Crafted from precious speckled burgundy Italian resin and silver, the pen’s design is distinguished by a clip depicting one of the universal symbols of philosophy. The silver ring on the cap is engraved with a profile of Socrates on the front and the motto: “Only those who know that they know nothing are wise—not those who delude themselves into thinking they know and thus remain unaware even of their own ignorance” on the back.
A small coin depicting an owl is set into the top of the cap. The owl is a symbol of philosophy and wisdom, and was considered as such by Hegel as early as the nineteenth century.
This collection is not only a tribute to Socrates, but also a recognition of his legacy in philosophical thought. Each pen is a perfect balance of elegance and meaning, ideal for anyone wishing to honor the pursuit of truth and the value of dialogue in everyday life.
