About this listen

 The Apology of Socrates by Plato is Socrates’ defense speech during his trial in 399 BCE. Accused of corrupting the youth and impiety, Socrates argues he is a seeker of truth, questioning wisdom to expose ignorance. He denies intentionally harming anyone and insists his philosophical mission benefits Athens. Rejecting an emotional plea, he maintains integrity, even when facing death. Socrates refuses exile, preferring death over abandoning philosophy. Found guilty, he suggests a reward instead of punishment. Ultimately sentenced to death, he accepts it calmly, asserting that a good man cannot be harmed in life or death. Summary by DreamAudioBooks
