Ἀπολογία Σωκράτους (The Apology of Socrates in Ancient Greek)
'Ἀπολογία Σωκράτους (The Apology of Socrates in Ancient Greek)' Summary
In Plato's 'Apology of Socrates', we are presented with Socrates' defense against the charges brought against him in 399 BC. Accused of impiety and corrupting the youth, Socrates defends his life's work, which he describes as a relentless search for truth and a dedication to exposing ignorance. He argues that his questioning of Athenians exposed their own lack of true knowledge, leading to accusations of impiety. The text offers a glimpse into the philosophical debates of the time, highlighting Socrates' commitment to the pursuit of wisdom and his unwavering dedication to truth. The Apology, culminating with Socrates' acceptance of death, stands as a powerful testament to the power of philosophical inquiry and the courage to stand for one's beliefs.Book Details
