      (It seems strange to be allowed to give stars Plato.) I’m not a scientist. I’m not saying derision. I have the greatest admiration for the researchers, their research tireless and tenacious, and any criticism I would level is their tendency to become very narrow their attention. But again, I’m not an expert, I’m just a reader, and I have to say that as a simple reader, I tend to surprise me with books I’ll go ahead and read. That is it. Why, at the age of 44, with no real reason to read Plato, I pick this book? Who knows, but I’m more for this chapter.

      This book is a fantastic example of owning up to your beliefs, values ​​and norms. Should I give him another visit … I wish I could remember where I put it … = P Also, people who have read about the death of Socrates will be of two types: (a) those who believe the death penalty Socrates accepted to relieve the pain of his old age, a “quick and painless” for so to speak. .. or (b) those who believe he saw a life of exile to be negligible and loose, and accept the false charges in exchange for his life would dishonerable …

      Reading difficulties of these works is that they are dialogue transport from a source of second hand. Arenu2019t we heard these words of Socrates himself. Instead theyu2019re filtered by Plato for us. As such, thereu2019s a real way to tell how much of the writing is the truth, what is the embellishment or itu2019s a complete lie. This situation is aggravated by the fact that Socrates did not leave a written record of his work. This may speak to the innocence of “corrupting the youth of Athens,” as he did not seem interested in getting to work on the public. “I had a great time reading this book, though short, has been called into question by the arguments inside. I found it interesting that, if the book was by Plato, which deals with Socrates and his words . to learn more about him than we ever did Plato and Socrates does not seem to be the nicest guy. was arrogant and reigned over people when it suits his argument and hidden feelings of superiority when it did not. A part of me Socrates felt that it seemed to give up and give in to his sentence. fact, when it was discovered that he was an old and lived a full life with a family. would say that anyone, especially him, should not be disturbed by his disappearance. He argued convincingly and believed in life after death. Freeware from his earthly body, his soul dwells among others true philosophers. I did not agree with his belief that the main objective of the study was a philosopher of death though. I always thought that philosophy is a study to learn to live and why things are as they are.

      He has often criticized the democratic systems obliquely, and in fact, the consolidation of democracy can not afford most of it was exactly what he did see

      I wanted to read this book in high school or my first year of university and I think I could use them in conversations of evangelization.
