    About this audiobook

    Apology by Plato is a crucial Socratic dialogue that provides an understanding of the philosopher's own views on the trial and execution of Socrates. The work serves as a defence speech given by Socrates as he attempts to persuade the court of his innocence. By providing an insight into his philosophical beliefs, Plato uses the Apology to articulate his teacher's thoughts on justice, virtue, piety and moral responsibility. Read in English, unabridged.

    Plato

    Plato (aprox. 424-327 BC), a student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, is commonly regarded as the centermost figure of Western philosophy. During the Classical period of Ancient Greece he was based in Athens where he founded his Academy and created the Platonist school of thought. His works are among the most influential in Western history, commanding interest and challenging readers of every era and background since they were composed.
