Plato's Apology is one of the most famous works of not just philosophy, but world literature in general. It depicts the trial of Socrates, who was charged with impiety and corrupting the young, and sentenced to death for it. Instead of begging for mercy, Socrates gives a powerful defense of his practice of philosophy, and bravely argues that we should not fear death. Why was Socrates so hated? Why did Athens kill the man who the Oracle of Delphi said was the wisest of the Greeks? And why was Socrates not afraid of death? Find out all about it in today's video!

Socrates, for all of the same reasons, would be sentenced to death in Washington, New York, or San Francisco under the same charges that Athens raised

So I've heard of Socrates since I was young but just recently I've been seeing his name about a bit more.. And it's only now at 46yo that I've actually bothered to look at what all the hype is about him. And wow am I amazed. What a legend. He's definitely one of my heroes.

I love Socrates. An oldster now, but I was an actual philosophy major and even going into graduate level. Of course... that is now all rejected and ridiculed, but to be honest... I think I'm close to actual existential authenticity and success because of reading about him via Plato when I was in late adolescence/young adulthood. There is a bust of him, along with Plato and Aristotle, on the mantle behind me right now.

Thank you very much for creating and sharing. Socrates could be much more than an actual person; he represents the inner spiritual, a silent inner voice speaking to the soul of each individual worldwide. * The Athenians may have thought they killed Socrates, but they could never able to kill his voices and spiritual dialogues hidden within each person's individual soul.

A wise man seeking and honoring the truth and justice with his spirit has not to fear death or liars, as he does what he is supposed to do by the divine spirit dwelling inside of him. The fate of Socrates is actually similar to the fate of Christ Jesus, who finally won victory over death and the liars as he let his accusers be judged by their own words for his God's sake. 🍷❤️‍🔥

Hello everyone. I am looking for those who are interested in discussions earlier mentioned by Socrates, e.g., the way a philosopher chooses to die (become less bound to individual's desires), definition of morality and immorality, beauty, wisdom and so on. Could anybody help me if there is (are) such a community?

As he said, by honestly examining your own life. Emerson said to know one life has breathed easier because of your existence is success. Think about that. Socrates,Jesus any of the great perennial wisdom masters dedicated their lives to that proposition as did the founding fathers of this country. To die to live freely than to live in tyranny is the same choice Socrates made. You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Use that as the barometer of your life. M Scott Peck says contribute to life and liveliness as to do otherwise is contributing to evil. So if you are interacting with ugly disgusting creatures you will reap the same. A Jesus teaching if you will your associations determine the outcome of your life. That is the basis of Socrates teachings.

I love Socrates, but the thread of logic he spins starting at 9:40 is so bad. Sometimes people corrupt others intentionally, because the result of that corruption doesn't always amount to what the ancients simplistically categorized as "wickedness". Life is much more complicated and nuanced than that. Socrates could have theoretically corrupted the youth, i.e. changed their thinking and behavior so that they on average harm more people, but they could have spared Socrates of this evil. Sometimes people hurt random people but not the people they love. I'm sure Socrates would respond by saying that a just man such as he who hates evil would be personally injured if even one citizen of Athens was hurt by his pupils. But there is no way of verifying that he is actually that empathetic and just of a man; we'd have to take his word for it. Still, Socrates was obviously a genius, leaps and bounds above the rest of his time. And logical inconsistencies like these only seem obvious to modern people because we stand on the shoulders of giants, i.e. we've been educated by thousands of years of philosophical thought. Even those of us who never studied philosophy are the beneficiaries, since a lot of these lessons slip into the popular conscious/discourse.

Socrates was a spiritual Guru , now in modern times this would be called "Guru Bashing "👿 "All I know is that I know nothing,( I know nothing of your self created system of thoughts and llogical logic nor the fantasies of your wild imagination that you call life that in truth has become the man made hell on Earth that you have created and proclaimed it as Reality for yourself, I ( Socrates) am but a simple minded fool transcendental of the simple motions( programming) that you call life , in pure Virtue ( goodness) I Iintuit and understand all things as meaningless shadows, such is not the foundation of my Universal Consciousness , I have overcome ( subdued the Earth) and all inner and outer manifestations , for I live Forever in the most inner and Prior State of Divine Light that creates the shadows ( Imitations ) that terrifies and traps you in the cave of you minds. Your thoughts are your toys , your concepts and logic are your foolishness....and you have not yet learned to become the masters of your own fate and destiny............ Meditation, (allied with Medical i.e. to cure . ) is the way out of your ILLUSION. Return back to your Original Innocence. 😔Go inside ... temperately set the body and bio computer brain machine aside . ( The practice of Dying ) Rest , be at Peace ....🙏😔 You are not the body or mind that you have assumed to be ( sin ,the original mistake ) No Mr Roboto ,😮

Probably not, most want to appear virtuous, but not actually be. We are all to an extent guilty of something, but many like to point the finger at how everybody else is guilty of something bad. It would probably not matter who you think is a wise teacher, because people are generally bad at something. The problem with the youth is no more than the elders, it's just one is in a position of authority the other not yet. Everybody thinks what they are doing is righteous, but is probably not. At least that is the experience I have seen with all people. They think they are doing right, but are not.
