"Plato of Athens, who laid the foundations of the Western philosophical tradition and in range and depth ranks among its greatest practitioners, was born to a prosperous and politically active family circa 427 BC. In early life an admirer of Socrates, Plato later founded the first institution of higher learning in the West, the Academy, among whose many notable alumni was Aristotle. Traditionally ascribed to Plato are thirty-five dialogues developing Socrates' dialectic method and composed with great stylistic virtuosity, together with the Apology and thirteen letters. The four works in this volume recount the circumstances of Socrates' trial and execution in 399 BC. In Euthyphro, set in the weeks before the trial, Socrates and Euthyphro attempt to define holiness. In Apology, Socrates answers his accusers at trial and unapologetically defends his philosophical career. In Crito, a discussion of justice and injustice explains Socrates' refusal of Crito's offer to finance his escape from prison. And in Phaedo, Socrates discusses the concept of an afterlife and offers arguments for the immortality of the soul. This edition, which replaces the original Loeb edition by Harold North Fowler, offers text, translation, and annotation that are fully current with modern scholarship." -- Publisher's description… (lisätietoja)

One of the joys of attending a Community College and taking an 'Philosophy 101' class it that you get an instructor like Bobby Rowe, PhD, of New Brockton, Alabama, that introduces their students to books like "The Last Days of Socrates." The discussions in class and follow up readings made the entire course that much richer and interesting. Dr. Rowe passed way in 2014 but his obituary summed up just part of his passion for critical thinking and education: "Dr. Rowe was an instructor at Enterprise State Junior College for 30 years, teaching Western Civilization, Philosophy, Anthropology, Sociology and Archaeology. He was passionate about what he taught and made students think. He was an advocate for people and their rights. He has definitely left an imprint on this world and his students." ( )
5/5, very impressive book and teaches us the ways of the Socratic method and shows us Socrates thinking of true happiness for a philosopher and how he was very calm about what is going on for him especially at the trials. Also quite a bit of comedic value during the trial and how Socrates essentially does quite mock the trial and talks with his own sense of thinking and ideas. tragic end but still interesting as to why he has chose that option and greatly debated his followers and their opinions on the matter.

I'm glad I read this, however,the philosophy was heavy, but considering that this is about the execution of Socrates, the man who believed you can get to truth just by questioning everything, that is to be forgiven. I'm not going to say this was an enjoyable read, but it was illuminating. ( )

It never entered my head that a man who asserted that the ordering of things is due to Mind would offer any other explanation for them than that it is best for them to be as they are.

Such, Echecrates, was the end of our comrade, who was, we may fairly say, of all those whom we knew in our time, the bravest and also the wisest and most upright man.

This work includes four of Plato's dialogues: Euthyphro, The Apology (a.k.a. The Defense of Socrates), Crito, and Phaedo. There is another edition of Last Days... which has only three of the dialogues, and which should not be combined with the present work.
