“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.
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.
One of the most noticeable aspects of Plato's dramatization of Socrates in the Apology is that many themes of philosophical relevance emerge by way of a series of self-images that Socrates crafts throughout the defense speech he delivers at the trial held against him in 399 BCE.
