Plato's Apology

By: Plato

Narrated by: Ray Childs

Socrates is on trial for his life. He is charged with impiety and corrupting young people. He presents his own defense, explaining why he has devoted his life to challenging the most powerful and important people in the Greek world. The reason is that rich and famous politicians, priests, poets, and a host of others pretend to know what is good, true, holy, and beautiful, but when Socrates questions them, they are shown to be foolish rather than wise.

Beautiful and meaningful

One of the greatest works of the west. Necessary for an understanding of our culture. RIP Socrates

splendid!

I would hope he could karate noire stories as it fit the theme. I enjoyed it very much and will listen again.

why did take so long for me to read this?

"The easiest and best way is not to crush others but to better and improve yourselves."

Great start to Socrates

Great book to start in philosophy and what the core beliefs Socrates held. His demeanor throughout is so calm yet serious. Great fast read 💪🏼

Intriguing listen!

The narrator did a wonderful job giving life to what can sometimes be difficult material to read/listen to and fully comprehend it. Great work.
