This well-preserved copy of “The Last Days of Socrates” offers a window into one of the most significant events in Western philosophy. Translated by Hugh Tredennick, this volume presents Plato’s renowned accounts of the final conversations and trial of his mentor, Socrates. The dialogues captured here, including the Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo, not only record Socrates’ eloquent defense against charges of impiety but also his profound reflections on the nature of virtue, justice, and the philosophical life.
Beyond its historical significance, this work remains a captivating read for its dramatic narrative and timeless insights. Socrates’ unwavering commitment to truth and his fearless questioning of conventional wisdom continue to inspire readers across generations. This edition, though bearing the gentle marks of its age, offers a tangible connection to a cornerstone of Western thought, making it a prized addition to any philosophical or classical library.
