Crito's Argument

The purpose of "critics" is to show the character of Socrates, not to be a philosopher, but to believe in the mission of God, to be unfairly condemned as a good citizen, to want to give up his life . We obey the laws of the country. The main argument that seems to require discussion between Creo and Socrates is the recognition of the fate of Socrates by most people. In "Crito" Socrates said: "Why should we care about most people's ideas?" (Plato 45) Socrates cares about the thought of most people I believe it should not be.

In response to Chris' view, Socrates initially thought about why the opinion of most people is not the most important opinion. Second, what is the impact of escaping the city of Athens, and the third So, whether escape is cheating or not, as it will hurt Socrates' soul. If Creo does not help Socrates escape, what do they think? If Socrates is not responsible for his children, what do they think? Socrates believes that the opinions of experts are more important than the majority of opinions. He raised a well-trained example. Athletes do not pay attention to the general public's advice, but focus on their trainers. Taking steroids, eating whatever you want, listening to public opinion, such as training for 20 hours a day, may hurt your body.

Creo showed a number of reasons Socrates had to escape Socrates. The first two are rather weak. Third, Socrates's responsibility to his children is the strongest. The first argument of Creo is that if Socrates does not run away, Socrates harms Creo in two ways. When Socrates dies, critics will lose good friends and critic's reputation will be hurt. People did not know that Socrates chose to stay in prison, they think they had the opportunity to let Socrates depart, but he did not do so because he did not intend to spend money . This gives Crito a high reputation with more money than a friend. This discussion considers only the impact of Socrates' actions on Creo. In Crito 's second argument, he inferred why Socrates did not want to run away. It is possible to pay salaries to people, but there is still doubt as to whether it is an ethical issue. What is Crito's request for Socrates?
