The Trial and Death of Socrates: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, death scene from Phaedo 3rd Edition is written by Plato and published by Hackett Publishing. ![]() ![]() Writing in the fourth century B.C., in an Athens that had suffered a humiliating defeat in the Peloponnesian War, Plato formulated questions that have haunted the moral, religious, and political imagination of the West for more than 2,000 years: what is virtue? How should we love? What constitutes a good society? Is there a soul that outlasts the body and a truth that transcends appearance? What do we know and how do we know it? Plato's inquiries were all the more resonant because he couched them in the form of dramatic and often highly comic dialogues, whose principal personage was the ironic, teasing, and relentlessly searching philosopher Socrates.In this splendid collection, Scott Buchanan brings together the most important of Plato's dialogues, including Protagoras, The Symposium, with its barbed conjectures about the relation between love and madness, Phaedo and The Republic, his monumental work of political philosophy. ![]()

When the given period is the pre-modern era this is especially true, as women’s direct expressions were inhibited by lack of education and imposition of social decorum, and their visibility as agents of action was limited.
