   Sep 21, 2020 · Socrates would disobey not because a law takes away his preferred pastime, but because it deprives him of his citizenship; without philosophy, Socrates is no longer a citizen. For Heinze, outlawing philosophy equals Socrates’ disenfranchisement from democracy (cf. Brickhouse and Smith 2004 : 232).

   What does Socrates say in the apology?
