Bøger af Michael C. Stokes

Plato's Crito examines a single moral decision, whether Socrates ought to escape from his death-cell. Stokes's book discusses Socrates' arguments against Crito's offer of escape. It construes Socrates' questions as genuine questions, which clarify and undermine Critos positions.

The Apology is a masterpiece of rhetoric, illustrating Plato's version of Socrates' dialectical method. This edition brings together valuable research and develops it further, questioning the historical accuracy of Plato's version of Socrates' defence, and presenting the Apology as a work of art. Greek text with translation and commentary.
