Apology

The first accusers are people who were accusing Socrates’ of wrong doings before Anytus and his friends. Socrates talks about these first accusers as if not totally sure who they are. He states that they have been making accusations against him for a long time and that all of them are false. These people state that Socrates is wise but is doing wrong. “…a student of all things in the sky and below the earth, who makes the worse argument the stronger” (Plato 22). This meaning that Socrates does…

Socrates uses many appeals trying to defend himself against the Athenian Court; although he fails, his main appeal of logic resonates in those who convicted him. Socrates makes it apparent that even though he’s attempting to persuade the court to spare his life, he is very aware that this task will not be easily accomplished due to the years of slander instilled in others by his accusers. Socrates main point (and most powerful) is that his accusers contradict every claim they make against him.…

In the Apology, Socrates displayed many virtuous characteristics, though he could at times be taken as either rude or arrogant. Among his virtues was that he sought to impulse the spiritual development of his listeners, as stated in his argument to the Athenians: “as long as I have breath and power I will not cease from philosophy, and from exhorting you and setting forth the truth to any of you whom I meet” (qtd. in Perry 51). Accordingly, his persistent questioning of authorities does not seek…

of Socrates” the apology section written by Plato. In this text, Socrates is a philosopher who often challenges and questions things that were traditionally understood and accepted at the time. Socrates is accused of many things such as corrupting the young, and not believing in the gods traditionally worshiped in Greece. He is put to trial knowing very well that the verdict may be the death sentence, but still defends his beliefs. “The Apology” is not so much a literal apology for his actions…
