{"product_id":"9781554812585","title":"The Apology and Related Dialogues","description":"\u003cp\u003eSocrates, one of the first of the great philosophers, left no written works. What survives of his thought are second-hand descriptions of his teachings and conversations—including, most famously, the accounts of his trial and execution composed by his friend, student, and philosophical successor, Plato. In \u003cb\u003eEuthyphro\u003c\/b\u003e, Socrates examines the concept of piety and displays his propensity for questioning Athenian authorities. Such audacity is not without consequence, and in the \u003cb\u003eApology\u003c\/b\u003e we find Socrates defending himself in court against charges of impiety and corruption of the youth. \u003cb\u003eCrito\u003c\/b\u003e depicts Socrates choosing to accept the resulting death sentence rather than escape Athens and avoid execution. All three dialogues are included here, as is the final scene of \u003cb\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/b\u003e, in which the sentence is carried out. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050072129776,"sku":"9781554812585","price":11.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781554812585_p0.jpg?v=1763754481","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781554812585","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
