About the book

Plato's dialogues surrounding the trial and death of Socrates present one of the foundational episodes of Western philosophy. Accused in Athens of impiety and corrupting the young, Socrates defends his way of life and his commitment to philosophical questioning. The works explore justice, civic duty, the examined life, the soul and the philosopher's attitude toward death, while preserving Plato's enduring portrait of his teacher.
