Description & Specifications

The Apology of Socrates in the most significant spiritual Trial of the ages, penned by his greatest student, Plato. The essential justification of the philosopher who defined the course of Thought forever, and the irrevocable fact of his death sentence: Tragic contradictions that torment, even after two and a half millennia, the consciences, resulting in 'model' courts still being established around the world, with the hope of finally achieving a fair verdict…

Before the court, Socrates steadfastly defended his Truths, insisting that "at the moment of action, one should only consider whether one is acting justly or unjustly and not weigh the risks of life or death," guided solely by Reason – something he deeply understood and openly declared, that: "Malice and envy will consume me, just as they have already devoured countless virtuous people and will continue to do so – they won’t stop with me!"

A unique opportunity to access the ancient source, with a parallel modern Greek translation, detailed commentary for understanding the profound philosophical meanings revealed, and a thorough introduction regarding the form of Socrates, his ideas, and the legal, procedural, and literary issues raised by the Apology.
