Platonis Apologia Socratis Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apology_(Plato) Produced by Carolus Raeticus "Platonis Apologia Socratis" by Plato is a philosophical text written in the ancient period, around the time of Socrates' trial and execution in the 4th century BC. The book presents the defense speech of Socrates as he stands trial, accused of impiety and corrupting the youth of Athens. The likely topic of this work revolves around the themes of justice, virtue, the nature of wisdom, and the responsibilities of the individual in society. In "Platonis Apologia Socratis," Socrates is portrayed as a man devoted to seeking truth and wisdom, standing firmly against the accusations of his adversaries. Throughout the text, he argues that he is not a corruptor of youth but rather a guide who encourages critical thinking and self-examination among the young. Socrates emphasizes his divine mission, suggesting that he is fulfilling a role ordained by the gods to challenge complacency and ignorance in Athenian society. As he confronts his accusers, Socrates uses logical reasoning and irony to highlight contradictions in the charges against him, all while maintaining dignity and a commitment to his principles, even in the face of death. The work ultimately serves as a profound exploration of moral integrity and the quest for knowledge. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 50.9 (10th to 12th grade).
