Apology by Plato (English) Paperback Book

Description: Apology by Plato Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Apology is Platos 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, but in other daimonia that are novel" (24b). "Apology" here has its earlier meaning (now usually expressed by the word "apologia") of speaking in defense of a cause or of ones beliefs or actions. The general term apology, in context to literature, defends a world from attack (opposite of satire-which attacks the world). Apology is often ranked one of Platos finest works. The dialogue, which depicts the death of Socrates, is among the four through which Plato details the philosophers final days, along with Euthyphro, Phaedo, and Crito. 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 thinking that he knows nothing (23b, 29b).
