Euthyphro/Apology/Crito/Phaedo

«Nothing can harm a good man neither in life nor after death». The trial and condemnation of Socrates for charges related to heresy and the corruption of youth is a defining moment in the history of classical Athens. Through four dialogues, Plato examines these events while also developing his own philosophy of a life guided by self-responsibility. In Euthyphro, Socrates is outside the court, discussing the nature of piety, while the Apology is his decisive response to the charges against him. In Crito, awaiting execution in prison, Socrates counters the arguments of friends urging him to escape. Finally, in Phaedo, he remains calm and confident in the face of death.
