The Trial And Death Of Socrates: Being The Euthyphron, Apology, Crito And Phaedo Of Plato (1880) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165153497)

The Trial and Death of Socrates is a collection of four philosophical dialogues written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. The book includes the Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo, which are all centered around the trial and execution of Socrates. In the Euthyphro, Socrates discusses the nature of piety and the gods with a man named Euthyphro. In the Apology, Socrates defends himself against charges of impiety and corrupting the youth of Athens. In the Crito, Socrates debates whether or not he should escape from prison and flee Athens. In the Phaedo, Socrates discusses the nature of the soul and the afterlife with his friends before drinking hemlock and dying. The book is considered a classic of Western philosophy and is often used as a teaching tool in philosophy courses. It provides insight into the philosophical ideas of Socrates and Plato, and explores themes such as ethics, morality, and the nature of reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
