The Death Of Socrates, An Interpretation Of The Platonic Dialogues

The Death of Socrates by Romano Guardini is a thought-provoking interpretation of the Platonic Dialogues, specifically Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo, which center around the final days of the philosopher Socrates. Guardini offers a deep analysis of the conversations and arguments presented in these texts, exploring the themes of justice, morality, and the nature of existence. He also delves into the character of Socrates himself, examining his unwavering commitment to truth and his willingness to face death rather than compromise his principles. Throughout the book, Guardini provides insightful commentary and draws connections between the philosophical concepts presented in the Dialogues and their relevance to contemporary issues. The Death of Socrates is a fascinating and illuminating read for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or the life and teachings of Socrates.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
