Apologia di Socrate

by Plato

Overview

Platone scrisse questo testo nel 399 a.C. in seguito alla morte di Socrate. Come altri testi giovanili di Platone, l'Apologia di Socrate risulta tanto affine al pensiero di quest'ultimo, da risultarne come un suo scritto. In realtà Socrate sosteneva la diffusione orale del pensiero e non esistono libri scritti di suo pugno: l'Apologia, se non una cronaca, è certamente il documento più attendibile del processo per la condanna a morte del padre della filosofia greca antica.

Plato, one of the most famous philosophers in the world, lived during the Classical Period in Ancient Greece. A student of Socrates and a teacher to Aristotle, he was the founder of The Academy, the first school of higher learning in Europe. Plato is the most prominent figure in the history of Ancient Greek philosophy and the originator of the Platonist school of thought. Using dramatic elements like dialogue and humor, his form of writing was considered innovative in his time. Plato's best–known work, The Republic, is widely acknowledged as the cornerstone of Western philosophy. His other extensively read works include The Symposium, Apology, Crito, Phaedo, and The Laws.
