About this listen

The Apology of Socrates, by Plato, is the dialogue that presents the speech of legal self-defense, which Socrates presented at his trial for impiety and corruption, in 399 BC.

  • Specifically, The Apology of Socrates is a defense against the charges of “corrupting the youth” and “not believing in the same gods as the city, but in other gods which are novel” to Athens.
  • The Apology of Socrates is the dialogue that depicts the trial, written by Plato who details the final days of the philosopher great Socrates.
  • This book has been carefully adapted into Modern English to allow for best enjoyment.

A simple yet fascinating look into Socrates view about life and virtue. A lesson for all ages, I highly recommend listening to this book.
