The Athenian court has found Socrates guilty and sentenced him to death. While he is waiting to be executed, his friend, Crito, comes to the prison to persuade him to escape and go into exile. Socrates responds by examining the essence of law and community, probing the various kinds of law and making distinctions that go far beyond the particular issue of whether or not Socrates should escape.… (más)
Nel momento in cui ricomincia il mio processo decido di leggere l’apologia di Socrate, tutt’altro processo, ma alla fine la storia si ripete. L’apologia di Socrate ed il Critone vengono proposti in quest’edizione con il testo in greco a lato originale e sono corredati dalle ottime note di Maria Michela Sassi che ha scritto anche l’introduzione, fondamentale per collocare l’opera. La capacità di Socrate di affrontare un processo infamante e la ovvia condanna mi mortificano per la mia assenza di coraggio. In realtà sarebbe bello andare al mio, di processo, e senza boria, senza originalità, fare una lunga deposizione spontanea leggendo l’apologia, senza aggiunte, senza variazioni, così come è scritta. Perché in questo formidabile scritto di Platone, ad un uomo viene consentito di fare un lungo, perfetto passaggio, circa le miserie e le virtù dell’uomo, circa il concetto di giustizia e di legge, non come un contratto sociale, ma come un sistema di valori individuali. Nel Critone Socrate spiega all’amico per quali ragioni è necessario accettare le sentenze, per quanto le stesse non rispondano ad alcun principio di giustizia; ma è nell’apologia che si legge uno dei passi fondamentali del pensiero dell’uomo. La dialettica di Socrate, il suo utilizzo della maieutica, attraverso discorsi brevi e basati sulle contraddizioni delle affermazioni dell’interlocutore sono strumenti di conoscenza e cultura necessari. Una lettura non solo necessaria, ma bella. ( )

How have you felt, O Athenians, at hearing the speeches of my accusers, I cannot tell; but I know that their persuasive words almost made me forget who I was, such was the effect of them; and yet they have hardly spoken a word of truth. But many as their falsehoods were, there was one of them which quite amazed me: I mean when they told you to be upon your guard, and not to let yourselves be deceived by the force of my eloquence.

The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways—I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows.

(Socrates relating the voice of Athens) Now you depart in innocence, a sufferer and not a doer of evil; a victim, not of the laws, but of people. But if you go forth, returning evil for evil, and injury for injury, breaking the covenants and agreements which you have made with us, and wronging those whom you ought least to wrong, that is to say, yourself, your friends, your country, and us, we shall be angry with you while you live, and our brethren, the laws in the world below, will receive you as an enemy; for they will know that you have done your best to destroy us. (Socrates in his own voice) Listen, then, to us and not to Crito. This is the voice which I seem to hear murmuring in my ears, like the sound of the flute in the ears of the mystic; that voice, I say, is humming in my ears, and prevents me from hearing any other. And I know that anything more which you may say will be vain. Yet speak, if you have anything to say. Crito: I have nothing to say, Socrates. Socrates: Then let me follow the intimations of the will of God.

Please separate and combine only LT works having substantially the same content. For example, this LT work includes two of Plato's dialogues: The Apology (a.k.a. The Defense of Socrates) and Crito. Thank you.
