Apology

Plato's Apology is one of the foundational texts of Western philosophy—a dramatic account of the trial of Socrates in 399 BC, when the great philosopher stood before an Athenian jury accused of impiety and corrupting the youth of the city. Far from offering a conventional apology, Socrates delivers a fearless defense of his life's mission: to question relentlessly, to expose ignorance, and to pursue wisdom above all else. Declaring that 'the unexamined life is not worth living,' he refuses to abandon his principles even in the face of death. A profound meditation on truth, conscience, and moral courage that has resonated for over two thousand years. A Raven's Gate Classics edition with atmospheric new cover art.
