Description
In Plato's Apology, Socrates is put on trial and found guilty of impiety and corruption of the youth. Read Socrates's philosophical defense. Learn why Socrates extols that the unexamined life is not worth living and how Plato made his teacher's words a cause célèbre of his time. Nothing about this book is apologetic. Get in-depth with a close reading of the text, replete with engaging building background knowledge activities and more.
