Socrates in The Apology, by Plato

Wisdom and excellence Plato apologized, Socrates made many bold and moving statements that led the reader to explain it according to their own terms. He said, "I may be more wise ... I do not think I do not know that I do not know" (21 d). After that, Socrates asked, "I am not doing anything, to convince you not to care about the best condition of your soul so that neither the old nor the young in you will take care of your body and wealth I can only do it. "

I recently heard a partial review of life with an old podcast about Plato's Socrates apology. Apology is basically a version of the speech given by Plato when Socrates was tried. Because of "corrosion of young people, not the gods the city believes". In order to shorten the long story, Socrates defended his behavior and decided to claim his position instead of repentance, he was convicted and killed. I have never seen a speech, but listening to a podcast is very interesting.

The main sources of Socrates 'trial and enforcement are the Apologetics of Plato' s Socrates and the apology of Xenophon of Athens to Socrates who was his student, the contemporary interpretation includes the journalist IF Stone's "Socrates" The "judgment" (1988) that was being held and the classic scholar Socrates died Robin Waterfield: the elimination of myth (2009). Before philosopher Socrates was judged moral corruption and reverence, the citizens of Athens thought that he was an intellectual and moral person in their society. In the comic book "Cloud" (423 BC), Aristophanes teaches Socrates as a sophisticated philosopher and teaches how to discuss the beating of his father to the young people. Socrates denied the relationship with Sophist, but the playwright showed that the Athenians combined the philosophical teaching of Socrates with Sophism.
