In 1989, when I was living and working overseas, my late father sent me The Trial of Socrates by I.F. Stone to read. At the time, I didn't know who I.F. Stone was, nor the reputation he had earned on the national level for decades as an honest, principled journalist who could not be bought. Notwithstanding that, this book intrigued me, because when I was a college freshman 40 years ago, I had taken an advanced philosophy course in which I studied the works of both Plato and Aristotle. The Trial of Socrates , the reader becomes a witness to Socrates being put on trial in Athens for "impiety and corrupting the city's youth." Socrates was a philosopher who always encouraged people to be "free thinkers" (that is, to question anything its public leaders and lawmakers promote that they themselves may feel compelled to call into question after a close examination of the issues and policies associated with said public leaders and lawmakers). He himself became renowned as a "gadfly", someone who would challenge the Athenian governing class by questioning and criticizing them for any of their actions he found questionable. In other words, Socrates always spoke truth to power. So, it was that in the eyes of this governing class, Socrates came to be seen as a clear and present threat to their rule. Hence, Socrates was put on trial for his life. The Trial of Socrates is a very compelling story about someone unafraid to critique a society (whilst also encouraging others in that society to "find their voices") peacefully through the power of speech, who by so doing, is put on trial for being a free and independent thinker.
