The Trial and Death of Socrates: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, death scene from Phaedo Paperback – 1 December 2000

Sounds like Socrates was an influencer back in his time that they thought deserved death, unfortunately. He was very self-righteous even up until his death. His friends were trying to save him and he wasn't having it. He had a point that if he did escape his fate that he would not be a model patriot of his Country that he felt was expectant of all citizens.Even though Plato claimed they would have been fine if he fled Athens, Socrates felt it wasn't right, especially after he defended himself in court with all his might. He did though ask for a different sentence other than death since he was old and had sons but they ruled death again. Socrates tried to convince the citizens that they are responsible for their own moral attitudes, thus his acceptance of death in the end.

very good

If you're looking for a book which challenges what you know, what you value and how you should live - this is it. Written 1,800 years ago, and more relevant than anything you can buy today.

As expected. Great book on philosophy, many interpretations come from this book, but it is up to the reader to pull out what they please.

Excellent...good book for school studies
