While this is some of the most important philosophical work that is the foundation of much 'Classical' Western writing, philosophy and politics, I found most of it very hard going, though there are a few gems hiding in here. I am going to make a point of reading a different translation of 'The Republic' to see if that makes it any easier to get through. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In 399 BC Socrates was prosecuted, convicted, sentenced to death and executed. These events were the culmination of a long philosophical career, a career in which, without writing a word, he established himself as the figure whom all philosophers of the next few generations wished to follow. The Apologies (or Defence Speeches) by Plato and Xenophon are rival accounts of how, at his trial, Socrates defended himself and his philosophy. This edition brings together both Apologies within a single volume. The commentary answers literary, linguistic and philosophical questions in a way that is suitable for readers of all levels, helping teachers and students engage more closely with the Greek texts. The introduction examines Socrates himself, the literature generated by his trial, Athenian legal procedures, his guilt or innocence of the crimes for which he was executed, and the rivalry between Xenophon and Plato.
