The Trial of Socrates

Socrates was accused of being a lawyer. Because he is "investigating things in the air and the air, showing a weaker debate more strongly" and "to teach the same to others". (Apology, Plato, Philosophical Classical, page 21) Socrates was also denounced the existence of God and was accused of eroding young people. Socrates tried to prove he is innocent. The jury of Socrates consisted of 501 Athens citizens from all walks of life.

In "Socrates' New Trial" (2012), an international team of ten judges conducted a mock-up review of Socrates to solve claims by Mélitas, Anytus, and Lycon. A wicked and corrupt young man, he does not believe the gods of the country, he believes in his other new divinity ;; through the split decision, five judges voted "not guilty" and 5 Human judge voted for "not guilty" This made Socrates ignore the corruption of young people and the embarrassment of Athens pantheon. The judge, without considering any judgment, was limited to the facts of the Socrates episode, said a judge who voted guilty to a philosopher said he would not consider the death penalty of Socrates.

The main sources of Socrates' trial and enforcement are the Apologetics of Plato 's Socrates and the apology of Xenophon in Athens to his student Socrates, for contemporary interpretation the journalist IF Stone' s "Socrates" "judgment (1988) and classic scholar Socrates died Robin Waterfield: 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.
