In Plato... or Xenophon... we never see Socrates requiring... examination of conscience or... confession of sins. An account of your life, your bios, is... not to give... the historical events... but... to demonstrate whether you are able to show... a relation between the rational discourse, the logos, you... use, and the way... you live. Socrates is inquiring into the way that logos gives form to a person's style of life... whether there is a harmonic relation between the two... the degree of accord between a person's life and its principle of intelligibility or logos... and the true nature of the relation between the logos and bios.
