Kriton

Kriton

by Plato (Πλάτων)

„Kriton“ ist ein philosophischer Dialog Platons, der die letzten Stunden des zum Tode verurteilten Sokrates schildert. In diesem Gespräch mit seinem Freund Kriton, der ihm die Flucht aus dem Gefängnis anbietet, verteidigt Sokrates die Überzeugung, dass es unethisch ist, die Gesetze zu brechen, selbst wenn diese ungerecht erscheinen. Er argumentiert, dass die Einhaltung der Gesetze, auch in schwierigen Situationen, die Grundlage für eine geordnete und gerechte Gesellschaft bildet. Durch seine philosophische Argumentation und seinen Mut, für seine Überzeugungen einzustehen, bis zum Tod, wird Sokrates zum Symbol für die philosophische Suche nach Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit.
