Publisher's Synopsis
The Death of Socrates is a book by Romano Guardini that offers an interpretation of four Platonic dialogues: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo. The book provides a detailed analysis of the events surrounding the trial and execution of Socrates, a philosopher who was charged with corrupting the youth and impiety. Guardini examines the philosophical themes and ethical questions raised in the dialogues, including the nature of justice, the relationship between the individual and the state, and the meaning of life and death. He also explores the character of Socrates and his role as a philosopher, teacher, and martyr. The book offers a thoughtful and insightful perspective on one of the most famous and influential events in Western philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
