In these four dialogues, Plato develops the Socratic belief in responsibility for one's self and shows Socrates living and dying under his philosophy. In Euthyphro, Socrates debates goodness outside the courthouse; Apology sees him in court, rebutting all charges of impiety; in Crito, he refuses an entreaty to escape from prison; and in Phaedo, Socrates faces his impending death with calmness and skilful discussion of immortality.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Christopher Rowe's introduction to his powerful new translation examines the book's themes of identity and confrontation, and explores how its content is less historical fact than a promotion of Plato's Socratic philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat:  Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: UK, 2010\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePages: 256\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguages: English \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13:  9780140455496\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10: 0140455493\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Plato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43704483971338,"sku":"","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9780140455496.jpg?v=1661958474","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-last-days-of-socrates-1","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
