vol.023: Apology—Plato
-
Narrated by:
-
Written by:
This presents Plato's "Apology," translated by Benjamin Jowett, offering a detailed introduction that clarifies the work's historical context and its portrayal of Socrates. The introduction emphasizes that while it captures Socrates' character, it is Plato's artistic interpretation rather than a verbatim account of the trial. The main body of the text then presents Socrates' defense speech, where he systematically addresses the accusations against him, explains his philosophical mission stemming from the Oracle of Delphi, and challenges his accusers' motives and logic. Ultimately, Socrates accepts his death sentence, using his final words to prophesy future consequences for his condemnors and to express his calm outlook on death.
