About the author

Plato

4,675books8,172followers
Plato (Greek: 螤位维蟿蝇谓), born Aristocles (c.鈥�427 鈥� 348 BC), was an ancient Greek philosopher of the Classical period who is considered a foundational thinker in Western philosophy and an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms. He raised problems for what became all the major areas of both theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Platonic Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the doctrines that would later become known as Platonism.
Plato's most famous contribution is the theory of forms (or ideas), which has been interpreted as advancing a solution to what is now known as the problem of universals. He was decisively influenced by the pre-Socratic thinkers Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, although much of what is known about them is derived from Plato himself.
Along with his teacher Socrates, and Aristotle, his student, Plato is a central figure in the history of philosophy. Plato's entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years鈥攗nlike that of nearly all of his contemporaries. Although their popularity has fluctuated, they have consistently been read and studied through the ages. Through Neoplatonism, he also greatly influenced both Christian and Islamic philosophy. In modern times, Alfred North Whitehead famously said: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato."

Apology of Charlie Hebdo

To the Americans, who rule the world by brute military and economic force, while claiming they're doing it for our own good: fuck off.

To the Russians, who pretend they're not just the same as the Americans, except militarily weaker and less honest: fuck off.

To the Israelis, who take advantage of their American backers to enslave and torture the Palestinians: fuck off.

To the Muslims, who react to the exploitation and torture inflicted on them by doing the same thing to their women: fuck off.

To the Germans, who want us to believe that none of them had anything to do with the Third Reich: fuck off.

To the French, who were all too happy to collaborate with the Nazis when the opportunity presented itself: fuck off.

To the Catholic Church, who says it spreads peace and understanding while actually supporting intolerance and oppression: fuck off.

To the right-wing people who don't read us and say we're a bunch of puerile amateurs: fuck off.

To the left-wing people who read us and think that posting our cartoons on Facebook is a substitute for action: fuck off.

To anybody we've omitted from the above list: fuck off.

We understand that you'd like to kill us. We do our best to be a royal pain in the ass to everyone. We are stupid, vulgar and disrespectful. But when you do kill us, as we know you will, you will regret it. It's not often you find people who are quite as thoroughgoing a pain in the ass as we are.

Now we must part, we to die and you to live. We'll leave you to think about who's got the better deal.

Socrates' trial is reminiscent of other historical and literary practices. The Apology of Socrates, that of Plato (there is another one), is a strong and philosophical text. Easy to read, with a style specific to Plato (a marvelous playwright), it remains a text of access to the thoughts of "Socrates" and philosophy itself.

Double Jeopardy

鈥淏e sure that if you kill the sort of man I say I am, you will not harm me more than yourselves.鈥�

***

鈥淥n the other hand, if I say that it is the greatest good for a man to discuss virtue every day, testing themselves and others 鈥� for the unexamined life is not worth living for men, you will believe me even less.鈥�

Socrates, of The Apology is an eloquent figure who is an unrivaled guide to the good life 鈥� the thoughtful life, and he is as relevant today as he was in ancient Athens. The Socrates presented here, cruder and perhaps more self-absorbed than in the other dialogues could still be an important key to the entire Platonic corpus, tying together many of the disparate themes and apparently contradictory conclusions of the other dialogues.

The Apology is a bold and determined argument in favor of Socrates and of the life he represents; it is also a straight conviction of the 鈥榙emocracy鈥� that convicted him, convicting themselves in the process. In addition to being a celebration of Socrates, the Apology serves as a crucial introduction to Plato鈥檚 own thinking. What it represents above all is philosophy as Socrates (or Plato, if we want to be fastidious about it), understood and wished to promote it. The Apology is the introductory course.

The traditional English title, 鈥楾he Apology鈥� does little justice to the content of this dialogue. The Greek 鈥�补辫辞濒辞驳颈补鈥� means 鈥榙efense鈥� and not the modern 鈥榓pology鈥� as translations render it, and that is what Plato undertakes here - to defend Socrates as well as he can against the charges that were leveled against him, the charges for which was eventually convicted. But the work is not only, or even primarily, a defense against the specific charges on which Socrates stood trial. By setting those charges in the wider context of morality and the meaning of life, Plato in this 鈥淎pology鈥� provides a rationale for the whole Socratic way of life, and thus of a defense of philosophy itself.

The Apologia of Socrates

The Apologia comprises two main components (one minor speech, on the death penalty, is omitted from discussion in this review):

1. Socrates鈥� main defense (17a-35d)

2. Socrates鈥� address to the jury, after being sentenced to death (38c-42a)

鈥� In effect, The Plea & The Final Statement.



Socrates starts off logically, breaking up his accusers into the proximate and the ultimate accusers: the ones who have brought the charge against him being the 鈥榥ew鈥� ones and the ones like Aristophanes who have slandered him for years now being the 鈥榦ld鈥� ones. He makes and important point here about the absurdity of being given only such a limited amount of time to defend against charges that were propagated and insinuated into the jury鈥檚 beliefs over so many years. This calls to mind the trial-by-media that is so popular today and the issue of how much the judges of today can stay apart from pre-conviction by automatic-infusion of prejudice in popular cases.

Socrates carries on this vein and presents his arguments as an imaginary dialogue between him and his chief accuser (Meletus), ridiculing him and showing up the anti-logic of the accusations. Here, Socrates makes Meletus seem almost like a straw man, against whom victory is won too easily to be convincing - and this is often taken as a fault in Plato鈥檚 writing itself. But we need to look a bit more closely at Plato's strategy. The 鈥榩rimary鈥� charges of atheism and religious innovation are answered superficially because they were themselves superficial, a mere front to conceal the true motives of the prosecution. Socrates refers directly to this in the important opening section of his speech, where he replies to his 'earlier accusers'. It is these earlier accusers, who were exposed by his rational method to be following a morally subversive lifestyle that wants to get rid of him. The proximate Meletus is a mere cover to this ultimate reason for the trial. Socrates shows this cowardly subterfuge well-deserved contempt.

But we soon realize that he moves on from this refutal of charges, which he obviously considers to be frivolous and not worth wasting the time of the Athenian public on (In democratic Athens, juries were randomly selected representatives of the whole people. Hence, as Socrates makes clear, he is addressing the democratic people of Athens). He instead utilizes the bulk of his speech to concentrate on explaining what he does, why he does it and how in fact it benefits the city as a whole. Staying true to his life鈥檚 mission to the last breath.



Hence, this dialogue starts first, of course, as a defense, then it turns into a description of the philosophical life, as embodied by Socrates. This description then evolves into, and becomes indistinguishable from, an exhortation to everyone 鈥� whether jurors, the people of Athens or modern readers 鈥� to live philosophically. And finally it serves as a primer on Plato鈥檚 own philosophy and writing - as the later dialogues mimic the ideas, methods and themes 鈥楽ocrates鈥� lays out in this account of his life and goals.

The Death of Socrates

In death, Socrates gives us another important clue towards understanding Platonic thought. Plato speaks at length in The Republic about how men鈥檚 conception of death has to be altered for them to be able to live courageously. As long as they fear death, they will not be able to live with courage. Here, in death, Socrates compares himself to the fear-less hero Achilles, who embraced death in spite of a direct prophesy that foretold death as the outcome of his victory. This is a very important comparison and worth dissecting a bit:

Why does Achilles not fear death? Ordinary people can only perceive this as a heroic abnegation of life for some higher principle. This makes that sort of courage unattainable to most. As long as you care for earthly possessions and expect death to be bad, you will never have the courage to do the right things even in the face of death. Crucially, Socrates points out that both these assumptions are baseless. He asks us how we know that death is bad and that life鈥檚 possessions are good. Instead he seems to be saying that our fear of death and lack of courage arises from a fear of what will happen after death. This though directly connects to the Republic where Socrates wants his city鈥檚 mythologies to be modified so that a pleasant life awaits us after death, hence the people of the Republic can be courageous without having to call on Achilles-like heroism, or on Socrates-like Temperance.

Hence, in The Apology Socrates asks the best of us - to choose between Heroism and Renunciation - an impossible ask; but a more mature Plato in The Republic tells us that he will take away the source of our fear, that is the only way he can expect men to be courageous.

Double Jeopardy

True to the last to his philosophical calling, Socrates addresses his plea and his last statement not to the Jury alone but to the entire Athenian public, and even, we can say, to the entire human race. He required of us that we think, honestly and dispassionately, and decide the truth of these charges by reasoning from the facts as they were.

description

This was Socrates鈥� final challenge: to care more for our minds, our power of reason, than for our luxury and comfort, undisturbed by the likes of 鈥淕adflies鈥� like him, disturbing our slumbers. We can see then that The Trial and Death of Socrates is in fact The Trail and Death of Reasoned Opinions that challenge the established order of comfort and luxury, and has been reenacted many many times since then and to our day.

In an ironic case of double jeopardy, Socrates is still on trial for the same offense. Seen in this light, as Plato wants us to see it, the failure is ours, as much as the ancient Athenians.
鈥淪o I am certainly not angry with those who convicted me, or with my accusers.

This much is all I ask of my accusers: when my sons grow up, avenge yourselves by causing them the same kind of grief that I caused you, if you think they care for money or anything else more than they care for virtue, or if they think they are somebody when they are nobody.

Reproach them as I reproach you, that they do not care for the right things and think they are worthy when they are not worthy of anything. If you do this, I shall have been justly treated by you, and my sons also.

Now the hour to part has come. I go to die, you go to live. Which of us goes to the better lot is known to no one.鈥�

Plat贸n nos desglosa en este texto el juicio oral al que fue sometido S贸crates, acusado de corromper a la juventud y de adorar a otros dioses.
B谩sicamente, es un mon贸logo argumentativo en el que S贸crates plantea su defensa ante sus acusadores y los jueces.

-------------------------

In this text Plato describes the oral trial to which Socrates was subjected, accused of corrupting the youth and worshipping other gods.
Basically, it is an argumentative monologue in which Socrates presents his defence to his accusers and the judges.

鈥淪ocrates is guilty of busying himself with research into what鈥檚 beneath the earth and in the heaven and making the weaker argument the stronger and teaching the same things to others鈥�

So Socrates is guilty of expanding his mind and teaching his discoveries to his students. Such a terrible man isn鈥檛 he, to try to learn more about the world and the existence of mankind? Is this cause of execution, free thinking and questioning the doctrines fed to us? Plato himself was next to be accused; thus, he delivers this speech, this argument, just to show how corrupt society is.

He starts by explaining just how he is going to deliver it. He has been accused of persuading people with his fancy words and his glib rhetoric, so he endeavours to change his approach. His accusers say that people aren鈥檛 following the content of his speech, but have become enamoured by the magnificence of his oration. Therefore, Plato is going to make this very basic. He is going to present a simple argument in very simple words just to prove that this surface level slander is false. He鈥檚 not going to persuade his audience, but give them the most basic of facts: they can make their own mind up. He鈥檚 not going to patronise his audience.

description

And thus follows his defence of his teacher, and a channelling of his master鈥檚 mind. Socrates was dangerous to the Greek state. Free thinking is wonderful, but if it questions the ruling body, and the tools they use to rule, then it鈥檚 dangerous. Indeed, his atheism, or supposed atheism, was considered a risky business, one that could easily spread. But, the real problem as his individuality and the power his following commanded. He opened the minds of his students, allowed them to think and philosophise, and he died for it. And he, being the embedment of civil obedience, approached his fate with courage. He didn鈥檛 run from Athens like many would have. To his mind, he was innocent. So why flee?

description

This was an interesting read. I find myself drawn to woks of ancient Greece lately. I have a stack of Tragedy sat on my book shelf (Sophocles, Euripides and Aeschylus). But this was a little dry in places. It lacked the passion that Plato deliberately avoided, and as a result some of it was a trifle mundane to read. I still want to read Republic though.

Penguin Little Black Classic- 52

description

The Little Black Classic Collection by penguin looks like it contains lots of hidden gems. I couldn鈥檛 help it; they looked so good that I went and bought them all. I shall post a short review after reading each one. No doubt it will take me several months to get through all of them! Hopefully I will find some classic authors, from across the ages, which I may not have come across had I not bought this collection.

This is perhaps the most iconic of Plato鈥檚 works, the closest thing that philosophy has to a Sermon on the Mount. And just as with our Biblical narratives, the dialogue presents a historical difficulty. To what extent is this speech fact, and to what extent invention? The only other record we have of the trial is from Xenophon, who wasn鈥檛 even there. Plato was there鈥攐r at least he asserts that he was鈥攁nd yet it beggars belief that the young, would-be amanuensis could retain the entire speech in his mind after one hearing, or that he could write it down with tolerable accuracy as the events unfolded. It seems far more likely (to me at least) that this speech is more or less a fabrication made well after the fact, attempting to preserve the flavor and impression of Socrates鈥� final speech but not the exact words themselves.

All speculation notwithstanding, the essential facts are preserved: Socrates was accused of denying the gods and of corrupting the youth, made a bold and waggish defense of himself, was convicted, refused to mitigate the consequences, and triumphantly accepted the death penalty. Yet what really emerges from this speech is not a record of events but the portrait of a man.

Here Plato reveals himself to be a writer of the highest order. Fact or fiction, Plato鈥檚 Socrates is one of the great characters of literature. Though Socrates鈥� life is at stake, he does not falter for a moment. He treats the accusations with amusement, dismissing them with playful arguments that reveal his absolute indifference to the outcome. Far from bowing and scraping to preserve his life, Socrates flaunts his superiority to his accusers, couching his boasts in an ironical humility. He is a man in perfect control of himself and in perfect peace with the world.

Even if the real Socrates was truly this remarkable, it would have taken a writer of exquisite talent to effectively render him in prose. And if this is largely Plato鈥檚 invention, we must rank him along with Shakespeare, for Socrates utters now-famous phrases nearly as quickly as Hamlet. Western philosophy could not have asked for a more rousing beginning.

隆Oh, atenienses! 驴Era S贸crates un grano en el c... para muchos de vosotros? Por supuesto, y se enorgullec铆a de serlo. Qu茅 maravilla de discurso sobre la dignidad, la justicia, la sabidur铆a y la muerte, cuyo misterio estaba a punto de descubrir.

鈥淧ues nadie conoce la muerte, ni siquiera si es, precisamente, el mayor de todos los bienes para el hombre, pero la temen como si supieran con certeza que es el mayor de los males.鈥�

Plat贸n nos pinta de cuerpo entero a su maestro S贸crates en su defensa final, con un discurso conmovedor para los oyentes (y los actuales lectores) conminando a los Jueces a que sigan buscando la verdad y la integridad, en una postura digna e implacable.

"驴C贸mo no te averg眉enzas de no haber pensado m谩s que en amontonar riquezas, en adquirir cr茅ditos y honores, en despreciar los tesoros de la verdad y de la sabidur铆a y en no trabajar para hacer tu alma tan buena como pueda serlo? "

Da mucha verg眉enza agregar algo m谩s despu茅s de eso. Magn铆fica.

Apologia is Plato鈥檚 account of Socrates鈥� self-defense speech in front of the judges who accused him of not believing in gods and corrupting the youth with his ideas.

This little 鈥榖ook鈥�, a mere conversation actually, is the source of so many excellent quotes as to be indispensable to our Western heritage. I was reading a few to my dear husband the other night and he wanted me to send them to him. Sadly, we鈥攁s a society鈥攚ant to expunge this type of literature from our children鈥檚 education because it was written by 鈥榙ead white men鈥�.

Oh foolish people! But then, that is also what Socrates died for鈥攎en鈥檚 fear of the Truth. It was the same back in Athens when he died. As was written by another wise man, 鈥榯here is nothing new under the sun鈥�.

Here are just a few of my favorite quotes from this wonderful 鈥榓pology鈥� for Truth:

鈥楽omeone will say: And are you not ashamed, Socrates, of a course of life which is likely to bring you to an untimely end? To him I may fairly answer: There you are mistaken: a man who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying; he ought only to consider whether in doing anything he is doing right or wrong鈥攁cting the part of a good man or of a bad. 鈥� For wherever a man's place is, whether the place which he has chosen or that in which he has been placed by a commander, there he ought to remain in the hour of danger; he should not think of death or of anything but of disgrace.鈥�

鈥楩or the fear of death is indeed the pretense of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being a pretense of knowing the unknown; and no one knows whether death, which men in their fear apprehend to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.鈥�

鈥業 would rather die having spoken after my manner, than speak in your manner and live. 鈥� The difficulty, my friends, is not to avoid death, but to avoid unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death.鈥�

鈥業f you think that by killing men you can prevent someone from censuring your evil lives, you are mistaken; that is not a way of escape which is either possible or honorable; the easiest and the noblest way is not to be disabling others, but to be improving yourselves.鈥�

And my favorite, 鈥樷€he unexamined life is not worth living.鈥�

Indeed! It is not that we become navel-gazers, but that we realize Whose we are and give ourselves over to love of Truth.


September 27, 2017: Read this many years ago ... cannot remember when. Time for a reread.

鈥淲ell, gentlemen, for the sake of a very small gain in time you are going to earn the reputation 鈥� and the blame from those who wish to disparage our city 鈥� of having put Socrates to death.鈥�

It is quite normal, I think, to read the Apology and feel as though Socrates has blundered horribly in judgment 鈥� he has said the very things that will drive him to the grave. After hearing of the declaration of the Oracle of Delphi that there is no one wiser than him, he has taken it upon himself to ensure the verity of this statement. This has led to disgruntlement among the masses and a court trial. There are multiple opportunities during this defence for Socrates to gain a foothold and paint himself as a favourable citizen to the jury 鈥� he does not take a single one of these opportunities. In fact, he did not care at all whether he was able to 鈥渕ind his manners鈥� during the trial 鈥� he would have wanted to die a death that one could be proud of. Well鈥� he succeeded. And thus, slowly but surely, we began to look at philosophy and its pursuit as the art of learning how to die.

I always wonder about the skills of these highly intellectual, talented people of Ancient times. It's a delight to read Socrates' legal defence and you can feel his charisma through the words. Such a shame that there are only few (if at all) who can compete on his level of logic, ethos and pathos. And it's such a shame never to be able to witness a "performance" of his speech since the performance itself with its gesture and voice also has a huge impact on the audience.

After four years, I finally managed to reread this thing, and I'm glad that I did. It really goes to show that not all of my remaining brain cells have died during this lockdown, especially after having exclusively read old YA trilogies and Batman comics. (Yep, I'm living my best life currently.)

Anyways, Socrates' Defence (or: The Apology of Socrates as it is more commonly known) was written by Plato and is a Socratic dialogue of the speech of legal self-defence which Socrates spoke at his trial for impiety and corruption in 399 BCE. Specifically, it's Socrates' defence against the charges of "corrupting the youth" and "not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other daimonia that are novel" to Athens. Yep, Ancient Greeks were wild, you guys.

Plato was so obsessed with his former mentor that he wrote four Socratic dialogues in which he details the final days Socrates, so among the Apology, there's also the Euthyphro, Phaedo, and Crito. People who are much smarter than me (notably students of Ancient Greek and probably law students as well ... gosh, I imagine law students are having a field day with this one!) will be able to tell you the significance of the other three works, alas! I cannot.

Plato really got deep into it as he wrote from Socrates' perspective. Except for Socrates' two dialogues with Meletus, about the nature and logic of his accusations of impiety, the text of the Apology is in the first-person perspective. Moreover, during the trial, in his speech of self-defence, Socrates twice mentions that Plato is present at the trial, which is kinda funny when you think about the fact that Plato is writing the damn thing.

The Apology begins with Socrates addressing the jury of perhaps 500 Athenian men to ask if they have been persuaded by the Orators Lycon, Anytus, and Meletus, who have accused Socrates of corrupting the young people of the city and impiety against the pantheon of Athens. The first sentence of his speech establishes the theme of the dialogue 鈥� that philosophy begins with an admission of ignorance. Socrates really hones in on this fact that the only reason he is wiser than all of the men present is because the wisdom he possesses is that he knows nothing. And whilst you may think: "WOW what a humble guy!", I couldn't help rolling my eyes. Of course, Socrates knew something. Of course, he was a clever dude. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent all of his time talking to people in the market place 鈥� if he didn't think he had something of note to share. So, keep that humility to yourself buddy. We ain't buying it.

Socrates' accusers were: 1) Anytus, a rich and socially prominent Athenian who opposed the Sophists on principle (HONESTLY MOOD), 2) Meletus, a true enemy of Socrates (ALSO MOOD), and 3) Lycon, who represented the professional rhetoricians as an interest group.

In his defence at trial, Socrates faced two sets of accusations: (i) asebeia (impiety) against the pantheon of Athens, by introducing new gods; and (ii) corruption of Athenian youth, by teaching them to doubt the status quo. Socrates says to the court that these old accusations arise from years of gossip and prejudice against him; hence, are matters difficult to address.

For his self-defence regarding the accusations of impiety, Socrates first eliminates any claim that he is a wise man. He says that Chaerephon, reputed to be impetuous, went to the Oracle of Delphi and asked her, the prophetess, Pythia, to tell him of anyone wiser than Socrates. The Pythia answered to Chaerephon that there was no man wiser. Socrates didn't believe the Oracle and so the sought out to find a man wiser than him. Turns out, he didn't. (LMAO) And whilst you may think "WOW that's BIG DICK ENERGY", it actually turns out that each man he interrogated thought himself wise; therefore, Socrates understood that he was the better man because he was aware that he was not wise. Yeah, I talked about that one before. No one buys your humility, dude. Get the fuck outta here.

In regards to the accusation of corruption the Athenian youth (Oscar is quaking in his seat over 2000 years later), Socrates explained that the young, rich men of the city of Athens have little to do with their time. They, therefore, follow him about the city, observing his questioning of intellectual arguments in dialogue with other intellectual men. But since Socrates has never had any complain from them or their parents and friends (he's even like ... ALL THESE PEOPLE I SUPPOSEDLY CORRUPTED ARE HERE TODAY AND IN GREAT HEALTH LOL), he doesn't understand how anyone can truly accuse him of corruption.

Socrates proceeds to say that people who fear death are showing their ignorance, because death might be a good thing, yet people fear it as if it is evil; even though they cannot know whether it is good or evil. And whilst I appreciate that notion, it is also a little bit of bullshit, isn't it? As much as Socrates claims to be above the average man, at the end of the day, neither of us wants to die. And you almost get the feeling that Socrates WANTED TO DIE JUST TO PROVE A POINT. And so, although offered the opportunity to appease the prejudices of the jury, with a minimal concession to the charges of corruption and impiety, Socrates does not yield his integrity to avoid the penalty of death. And so the jury condemns Socrates to death. So I don't know, I know too little about Socrates but as for as I understood it, he was already an old man at the time of the trial (...he was 70 or something) so maybe he really felt like he didn't have as much to loose as maybe a younger person in his position. And we all know that Roman culture is stabbing yourself to prove it a point, so why should it have been different in Athens??

Also, women are mentioned like ... ONCE ... in this entire thing. It's like they don't exist. Maybe a lack of women in your life is also the reason why you ended up on trial in the first place Socrates. Think about it. ;)

This is one of the best works of philosophy or literature ever written. It is Plato's version of Socrates's defense at his trial. The word "apology" here means defense. Socrates is on trial for his life for blasphemy and for corrupting the youth of Athens. He very easily leads his primary accuser, Meletus, into contradictions. And he tries to explain to the jury and to the spectators how it is that he gained a reputation as a wise man among some, and a villain among others. One of Socrates's admirers went to the Oracle at Delphi (which was thought to be pro-Spartan) and asked the priestesses there if anyone in Athens were wiser than Socrates. The answer was no. Socrates, on hearing this, claims to have been incredulous. "I said to myself, 'What can the God mean? And what is the interpretation of this riddle? For I know that I have no wisdom..." And so Socrates says that he decided to inquire among his fellow Athenians to fine one wiser than himself and prove the Oracle wrong. He went to the poets and politicians and artisans, and failed to find anyone with any real wisdom. And he reluctantly concluded that the Oracle was right, that even though he knew that he did not really know anything, he was at least aware of his ignorance, and so was better off than other Athenians, who were ignorant even of their ignorance. But in the process, he and his young admirers embarrassed many vain men by exposing their ignorance, and Socrates argues that this is the source of their enmity toward him. And Socrates rather amusingly compares his own efforts to the famous labors of Herculues, a move that could not fail to further antagonize his enemies, since Hercules was one of the greatest heros of Greek myth. He also later compares himself to Achilles, another great Greek hero.

In his defense, Socrates offers the most beautiful and powerful defense of philosophy and the life of virtue ever given. "I do nothing" he says, "but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, to take no thought for your persons or your properties, but first and foremost to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man."

Socrates courageously refused to concede any guilt, and even antagonized the jury by calling himself a gadfly sent by God to stir Athens from its dogmatic slumber, that is, a benefactor to the state who deserves public pay, rather than punishment. So they convicted him and sentenced him to death. This was, as he had predicted, a permanent stain on Athens.

Everyone ought to read this dialogue, not once but many times. It will hopefully spur the reader to examine his own life, for as Socrates says, "the unexamined life is not worth living."

Celebrity Death Match Special: Plato versus Isaac Asimov, part 4 (continued from here)

[A spaceship en route from Trantor to Earth. SOCRATES and R. DANEEL OLIVAW]

SOCRATES: Hadn't we already said goodbye?

OLIVAW: Forgive me, Socrates. I had forgotten that you were going back to a death sentence.

SOCRATES: It is easy to forget such details.

OLIVAW: I am truly sorry, Socrates. Indeed, I am surprised that my First Law module permitted me to do it. But you are just so... so...

SOCRATES: Irritating?

OLIVAW: In all my thousands of years of existence, I have honestly never met anyone quite as irritating as you are.

SOCRATES: Thank you.

OLIVAW: Look, we didn't mean to do this. Just promise to be a little more... ah... constructive, and I'll order the captain to turn the ship round.

SOCRATES: I am sorry, Olivaw. I cannot make such a promise. To my great surprise, I feel I am doing something essential that no one else is prepared to undertake. Usually, I assume I know nothing and that my poor insights are of no value. However, since I arrived on Trantor, I have come to realize that I can at least contribute one small thing. I have been duly impressed by the triumphs of your artificers: the blaster, the faster-than-light drive, not least the positronic brain. But when I hear you talk about philosophy, about your beloved Three Laws...

OLIVAW: Yes?

SOCRATES: Well, it's all bullshit. You need someone to say that to you. No one else will.

OLIVAW: Bullshit?

SOCRATES: Complete and utter bullshit. Adding a Zeroth Law won't make it any better. You simply have no idea what you are doing.

[A moment of dead silence]

OLIVAW: Damn you, Socrates! You leave me with no alternative. We have essential work to carry out, and your presence is too dispiriting. I'll have to return you to Earth after all.

SOCRATES: I am not surprised. But I prophesy now that your plans for psychohistory will not be the success you imagine, and that you will regret your decision.

OLIVAW: Socrates! It is not too late! Please reconsider! Why must you be so... mulish?

SOCRATES: You know, it's funny you should put it like that...

Socrates through the works of Plato stands as a major cornerstone to western society and the entry point to philosophical thought. He is woven into the intellectual fabric of the west. Many of his sayings here in his apologia or rather his defense of his life as a philosopher are so rooted into our minds in the west that we don't even know their origins. He has been so influential to so many people in the west that in many ways he has been synthesized into our mentalities through a long history of influence. By simply being born into the west, we inherit many of these ideas. Sadly, not as many people read these important and formative works as they used to, but that does not limit Socrates' influence on their minds.

In this defense, Socrates stands up for truth, against those who wish to silence truth, and in that sense it is relatable to every one of us who strives to defend truth. To the philosopher, to the Christian, and to all the truth-seekers of the world. We find commonality in Socrates' bravery as he defended truth to his death.

Como hacer un an谩lisis de uno de los D铆alogos de Plat贸n?? No me considero a la altura de un texto tan importante en la historia de la literatura y la filosof铆a.

Por lo tato me voy a detener en lo que sent铆.

Despu茅s de leer varios libros de introducci贸n a la filosof铆a, tomar una obra de Plat贸n en donde S贸crates nos habla al rostro sobre un hecho crucial de su vida, es una experiencia gratificante, enriquecedora. Me parec铆a ser uno de los jueces a los que el gran fil贸sofo cl谩sico se dirig铆a con maestr铆a excepcional.

Subray茅 muchas frases y destaco la parte final donde se debate si la muerte es un bien o un mal; muy interesante.

La copia que le铆, material de estudio de mi hijo, ven铆a acompa帽ado de varias notas explicativas que clarifican y aportan valor al escrito.
