I could re-read this forever. Makes Christ look like an impudent teenager, and one wonder what the world could have been like under different circumstances

The Apology has always been a great book. This translation tho… was a little off.

Everyone is either Due one,0r Owes one. And persons attitude about apologies either way is very telling about their character.

This short defense is most inspiring. It shows how wise and noble Socrates was even when being wrongly accused of corrupting the youth and denying the gods of the time, facing a penalty of death. Socrates spoke only the truth and avoided inciting emotion on the judges to shift their judgements in his favor. Socrates admitted that making the defense more “eloquent” could have saved him at the cost of his pristine image.

Introduction was a bit long, yet informative. Great discussions on virtue, wisdom, death, and the duties of men. Loved it.

Whether Socrates actually said this or not, this is a look into the mind of someone who values knowledge, truth, and justice over presumption, folly, and oppression, and who gives no f*cks about who that offends. It’s probably one of the earliest examples of a “Rousing Speech” in history.

Really moved by the speech. If where the main body starts can be marked or linked in the content page, it will be better.

For a 150-page book I felt like I was reading this for the same timespan between when it was written to this very day. Still not as bad as the Iliad though, so I'll give it 2 stars instead of 1.
