Excerpt from Apology of Socrates and Crito
This edition of the Apology of Socrates and the Crito is based upon Dr. Christian Cron's eighth edition, Leipzig, 1882. The Notes and Introduction here given have in the main been confined within the limits intelligently drawn by Dr. Cron, whose commentaries upon various dialogues of Plato have done and still do so much in Germany to make the study of our author more profitable as well as pleasanter. No scruple has been felt, however, in making changes. I trust there are few if any of these which Dr. Cron might not himself make if he were preparing his work for an English-thinking and English-speaking public.
No editor of Plato in England or America can escape the influence of Dr. Jowett's labors upon Plato; certainly not one who owes so much to Dr. Jowett's teaching and friendship as I do. This is a debt which, because it is contracted unconsciously for the most part, can hardly be adequately acknowledged. Riddell's valuable edition has suggested many changes and additions in the Notes, and Stallbaum has been assiduously consulted.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Delve into the philosophical awakening of ancient Greece through the life and teachings of Socrates, the enigmatic mentor who revolutionized Western thought. This book unfolds the essence of Socrates' method, known as the dialectic, which relentlessly questioned received wisdom to uncover the true nature of knowledge and virtue. Socrates' relentless pursuit of understanding challenged the prevailing Sophist movement and laid the foundation for Plato's theory of Forms. His unwavering belief in the power of rational inquiry sparked a paradigm shift in philosophical thought, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, ethical conduct, and the relentless pursuit of truth. This meticulously researched work explores Socrates' enduring legacy as the father of Western philosophy and ethics, whose profound insights continue to shape our understanding of the human condition.
