The open skull represents how Socrates was open-minded. Socrates knew his views were not commonly accepted, but listened to objections with an open-mind, he found ways to look at all sides of an argument, and acknowledge that his opinions could be false.

Socrates was a great Greek philosopher and shared his wisdom with others. Because of his teachings Socrates was put to death for his ideas.

At the end Socrates made a speech about apologizing how he speak normal in front of…

Plato’s Apology is told from the prospective of the great philosopher Socrates and instead of an apology is his defense in his trial where he is accused of corrupting the youth of Greece. The title Apology is well chosen as it is the exact opposite of an apology—rather Socrates uses his closing remarks to explain why he is not sorry for his actions and that he was actually…
