QR code
"Platonis Apologia Socratis" by Plato is a Socratic dialogue written after 399 BC. The work presents Socrates's legal defense at his trial for impiety and corrupting Athenian youth. Facing a jury of perhaps 500 men, Socrates refuses to compromise his integrity despite the opportunity to appease prejudices. He questions his accusers through his characteristic interrogation style, claiming his only wisdom lies in knowing he knows nothing. The jury ultimately condemns him to
death. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
