Sinopsis

The Apology of Socrates, The Crito, and Part of The Phaedo is a book written by William Smith in 1852. The book is a collection of three dialogues written by the ancient Greek philosopher, Plato. The first dialogue, The Apology of Socrates, is a defense of Socrates against the charges of impiety and corrupting the youth that led to his trial and execution. The second dialogue, The Crito, takes place after Socrates has been sentenced to death and explores the question of whether he should escape from prison or accept his punishment. The third dialogue, Part of The Phaedo, is a conversation between Socrates and his friends on the day of his execution, in which they discuss the nature of the soul and the afterlife. The book provides a fascinating insight into the philosophy and ideas of Socrates and Plato, and remains an important text in the study of ancient Greek philosophy.With Notes From Stallbaum, Schleiermacher???????s Introductions, A Life Of Socrates, And Schleiermacher???????s Essay On The Worth Of Socrates As A Philosopher.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
