Ἀπολογία Σωκράτους
'Ἀπολογία Σωκράτους' Summary
In *Apology*, Socrates stands before the Athenian court, accused of impiety and corrupting the youth by Meletos, Anytos, and Lycon. He eloquently refutes these charges, arguing that his true mission is to question established beliefs and provoke thought. Socrates emphasizes that his pursuit of wisdom and truth is a service to Athens, and he is not afraid to challenge societal norms for the sake of virtue. Despite his eloquent defense, Socrates is ultimately condemned to death by the jury. The *Apology* ends with Socrates' acceptance of his fate, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to truth and his unyielding belief in the power of intellectual pursuit, even in the face of societal condemnation.Book Details
