Both his work and that of Jesus stand in the realm of universal truth and they were both individuals who conflicted with their respective historically determined collectivities exactly because of that. This piece proposes antagonism between the two, nothing further from the truth. Sub-illiterate trash.

Next, I do not see neither Socrates nor Jesus being characterized here. There's no greater exclusion than the exclusion of the dead. They cannot speak back and we treat these men of the past as mere objects, we look at them from behind the keyhole instead of opening the door and bringing them to speak with us wondering what they have to say about our opinion of them and what they have to say about us. Instead of analyzing both characters as men of their time, we must prolong their logic untill they reach our time.

The world is not this simple Von_Capo, don't let the weight of reality crush you down, however. Either Socrates or Jesus will help you deal with it.
