About this eBook
These four dialogues enact the trial and execution of Socrates, presenting a dialectical process that shows not only why the Athenians condemned him to death but, much more to the point, the reason why Socrates lived and devoted himself to examining the meaning of life. These works not only offer the best introduction to Plato's way of doing philosophy but also serve as an excellent introduction to philosophy itself.
About the author
Plato was born in Athens, Greece in 427 BC. The student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, Plato used the dialogue form to form a body of work to which Alfred North Whitehead said the rest of the philosophical tradition in the West is a series of footnotes.
