Plato's Apology of Socrates and Crito and a Part of the Phaedo With Introduction, Commentary, and Critical Appendix (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Plato's Apology of Socrates and Crito and a Part of the Phaedo: With Introduction, Commentary, and Critical Appendix In the Dialogues contained in this volume the moral qualities of Socrates appear in their highest manifestation, as also some hint is given of his intellectual method; but the man is exhibited here at the great crisis of his experience, and but for a short time, so that we see only vaguely what the main work of his life was and still less clearly what was the intellectual process by virtue of which he made an epoch in philosophy. In the Introduction the attempt is made to state briefly what his life was devoted to doing, and what it was in his conversation which was intellectually so important and influential. The outline of the argument prefixed to the notes on each chapter is intended chiefly as a suggestion that it is of the first importance that the student be led to search out and express Clearly for himself the play and progress of the thought as it develops.
