Description

The Last Days of Socrates by Plato This collection of four dialogues presents a pivotal moment in Classical literature and the life of Athens. In these conversations, Plato explores the concept of responsibility and the nature of goodness through the trial and death of Socrates. Through Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo, Plato examines the themes of identity and confrontation, offering insights into the mind of one of history's most influential thinkers. A powerful new translation by Christopher Rowe provides a nuanced understanding of this significant work. Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines, with authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
