The Final Days of Socrates is a book of four dialogues by
Plato-Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo-centering, as most of
Plato's dialogues do, around Socrates. These four dialogues cover
the time leading up to Socrates' trial and through his death and
depiction of the afterlife. Euthyphro concerns Socrates and
Euthyphro, a known so-called religious expert, as they try to
determine a definition for piety. Apology is Plato's version of
Socrates' speech as he defends himself against the criminal charges
of corrupting the youth and not believing in the same deities as
the state. The Crito is a dialogue between Socrates and a friend
about justice, injustice, and the reaction to injustice. Finally
Phaedo, one of Plato's most famous Socratic dialogues, depicts the
death of Socrates and his argument for the existence of an
afterlife. All four works are also included in the Cosimo omnibus
editions of The Works of Plato. One of the greatest Western
philosophers who ever lived, PLATO (c. 428-347 B.C.) was a student
of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle. Plato was greatly influenced
by Socrates' teachings, often using him as a character in scripts
and plays (Socratic dialogues), which he used to demonstrate
philosophical ideas. Plato's dialogues were and still are used to
teach a wide range of subjects, including politics, mathematics,
rhetoric, logic, and, naturally, philosophy.
