Apology [36.73 KB]

The Apology is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defended himself in 399 BC against the charges of "corrupting the young, and by not believing in the gods in whom the city believes. The Apology begins with Socrates saying he does not know if the men of Athens (his jury) have been persuaded by his accusers. This first sentence is crucial to the theme of the entire speech. Indeed, in the Apology Socrates will suggest that philosophy begins with a sincere admission of ignorance; he later clarifies this, dramatically stating that whatever wisdom he has, comes from his knowledge that he knows nothing.

Brilliant discussion starting titlemoma firefly

Everyone is either Due one,0r Owes one. And persons attitude about apologies either way is very telling about their character.55

On the Apologyizfgxkgxkgckhckhckkch

This short defense is most inspiring. It shows how wise and noble Socrates was even when being wrongly accused of corrupting the youth and denying the gods of the time, facing a penalty of death. Socrates spoke only the truth and avoided inciting emotion on the judges to shift their judgements in his favor. Socrates admitted that making the defense more “eloquent” could have saved him at the cost of his pristine image.55

Interesting, Thought-Provokingueuwiwwi

Introduction was a bit long, yet informative. Great discussions on virtue, wisdom, death, and the duties of men. Loved it.45

Wow. Just wow.A.W. Reese

Whether Socrates actually said this or not, this is a look into the mind of someone who values knowledge, truth, and justice over presumption, folly, and oppression, and who gives no f*cks about who that offends. It’s probably one of the earliest examples of a “Rousing Speech” in history.45

May the content page be improvedFourierAnalysis

Really moved by the speech. If where the main body starts can be marked or linked in the content page, it will be better.45

What a drag!!Rainbow Dash 

For a 150-page book I felt like I was reading this for the same timespan between when it was written to this very day. Still not as bad as the Iliad though, so I'll give it 2 stars instead of 1.25

Review of Plato's Apologyhashwhiskey

Good translation. Good introduction. You can't beat the price. I read the book all the way through and did notice a couple of typos. Other than that, not bad.35
