The Trial of Socrates

In the spring of 399 BC, a man named Socrates was tried in front of his home Athens. Face the accusation of God who does not recognize the perception of God, and introduce other new sacred things. In addition, he was accused of abusing the Athenian youth. The affidavit filed by Meletus requires the death penalty. These are very serious complaints and should not be taken lightly. But Meletus did not know anything about his argument, and his accusation was easily rebutted.

The Socrates trial of Socrates was the source of excellent events during the life and death of Socrates. Athens is a democratic city and I am proud of freedom. Especially their freedom of speech. Socrates is a political philosopher who does not agree with freedom brought by democracy of Athens. However, in his trial, democracies of Athens and Socrates themselves showed hypocrisy. It is this hypocrisy that makes Socrates' trial and death very sarcastic.

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.

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.
