Critón o el deber
'Critón o el deber' Summary
El diálogo "Critón" tiene lugar la noche antes de la ejecución de Sócrates. Critón, un amigo cercano, llega a la prisión para convencer a Sócrates de escapar. Critón argumenta que el filósofo está siendo injustamente condenado a muerte y que la fuga sería lo correcto, tanto para él como para sus amigos y familia. Sin embargo, Sócrates se niega. Argumenta que la ley de la ciudad es sagrada y que desobedecerla, incluso en caso de injusticia, dañaría el orden social y socavaría la propia virtud. Sócrates cree que el verdadero mal no es la muerte sino la injusticia. Su deber, afirma, es obedecer las leyes, incluso si estas le obligan a morir. A través de este diálogo, Platón examina temas como la justicia, la ley natural, la obediencia civil y la importancia de la razón sobre los deseos personales. "Critón" es un texto fundamental para entender el pensamiento de Platón y para reflexionar sobre la ética y la moral.Book Details
