Truly Sound, but Very Dense Repetitive Reading.
APOLOGY - Why did Socrates not choose to save himself instead of making a jest to the judges?
"...that you may not sin against the God by condemning me, who am his gift to you."
CRITO - was the poison really that painless?
PHAEDO - Complicated reasoning
is mostly resolved with
Socrates "Here lies the point..." proof of the Immortality of the Soul.
I read both THE SYMPOSIUM and THE REPUBLIC in college and so that will stand.
Hi search for someone wiser than himself has lots of 20th & 21st century contestants!
