The Socratic Dialoges, written by Plato, read and reviewed by N.H.V.V.

This one called Crito, the friend of Socrates has come to the prison to try to talk Socrates into fleeing with him to Thesaly where he says his friends there will make sure he's safe, and that he's sure the authorities who have ordered him to be executed will be glad that he is gone from Athens. The dialogue that follows is the argument that Socrates gives, making the case against fleeing with Crito who has apparently bribed the guards; the dialogue that follows Crito is called Apology. And I will report on that some other day. Copyright 2011, by Nicholas Van Vactor
