The Apology of Socrates was written by Plato. In fact, itтАЩs a defensive speech of Socrates that he said in a court noted down by Plato. The main subject of the speech is a problem of the evil. Socrates insists that neither death nor death sentence is evil. We shouldnтАЩt be afraid of the death because we donтАЩt know anything about it. Socrates proved that the death shouldnтАЩt be taken as the evil with the following dilemma: the death is either a peace or a transit from this life to the next. Both canтАЩt be called evil. Consequently, the death shouldnтАЩt be treated as evil.
