Summary/Abstract: Socrates’s way of life and his philosophy together created a monument for the future. When his way of life is questioned, his philosophy is examined at the same time. However, since Socrates himself never wrote and only “lived”, we encounter different profiles of Socrates about this life. While in Plato’s texts, Socrates and his concepts and methods show us a certain Socrates; in Xenophon’s texts, Socrates and his concepts and methods offer us another Socrates profile. Although both Plato's Socrates and Xenophon's Socrates are consistent and complete within themselves, when we bring them together, they show the Socrates monument in two parts. The purpose of this text is precisely this point because it will take into account the location, interlocutor and method of both Socrates of Plato and Socrates of Xenophon. Although there are differences between the concepts and methods of these two Socrateses, it is claimed that these two Socrateses complement each other.
