Synopsis

This collection is presented as a group of influential philosophical dialogues. Euthyphro considers the concepts and aims of piety and religion, while Apology is framed as a defence of the integrity of Socrates’ teachings.

In Crito, Socrates’ refusal to escape his death sentence is explored, and Phaedo depicts his acceptance of death alongside a discussion of the immortality of the soul. Suitable for readers interested in classical philosophy and foundational texts in Western thought.
