Jul 16, 2024 · The Apology of Socrates, written by Plato, is a Socratic dialogue of the speech of legal self-defence which Socrates spoke at his trial for impiety and corruption in 399 BC.
“The Apology” is Plato’s account of the three speeches that Socrates gave at his trial for false teaching and heresy in 399 B.C.E. At the age of 71, Socrates fought at his trial not for his life, but for the truth.
The Apology, or Socrates' Defence, pretends to be the speech, or rather speeches, that Socrates gave at his trial on a charge of ‘doing what is unjust by corrupting the young and not believing in gods the city believes in but other new divine entities’ (Apology 24 b 8– c 1).
These famous notions from Plato’s “Apology” encapsulate, exemplify and illustrate key tenets of Socratic philosophy: the importance of self-awareness, ignorance as a basis for knowledge and wisdom, and the transformative role of intellectual engagement.
