Critón O El Deber

Critón o el deber

by Plato (Πλάτων)

En "Critón o el deber", Platón presenta un diálogo entre Sócrates y su amigo Critón, quien le ofrece la posibilidad de escapar de la prisión antes de su ejecución. Sócrates rechaza la propuesta, argumentando que es su deber moral cumplir con las leyes de la ciudad, incluso si éstas lo condenan a muerte. A través de este diálogo, Platón explora la naturaleza de la justicia, la obligación cívica, la importancia de la razón y el valor de la vida virtuosa. Este clásico de la filosofía occidental desafía al lector a reflexionar sobre la naturaleza del deber y las responsabilidades de los ciudadanos ante la ley.
