Socrates was accused of corrupting the youth of Athens and of being a bad citizen. What was his concept of citizenship and how did it relate to his overall philosophy?

The fact that Socrates undermined many people's sense of security regarding some of their knowledge and wisdom was what really got him into trouble in Athens. This is because knowledge and belief often do influence human behavior, attitudes and feelings. This shows most clearly when Socrates confronts Euthyphro in the first dialog because he questions the motives and the underlying beliefs that have propelled the younger man's decision to officially and legally charge his father with the crime of murder there in the city-state. All this and more shows how important correct knowledge is. It is also sadly reveals that all too often humanity prefers a fine lie to the truth.
