This edition of Plato's "Crito" aims to provide an up-to-date literary and philosophical analysis. It also sets out to provide an introduction, not only to the social and philosophical world of Classical Greece, but also to the personality of one of its greatest thinkers.
Plato's Socrates, in prison and being urged to flee execution, raises in acute form, and for the first time in European thought, a central question: is it right to disobey the state? Socrates' controversial answer in "Crito" has generated much contemporary literature, but no English commentary of the Greek text for seventy-five years. This new edition aims to provide an up-to-date literary and philosophical analysis suitable for a wide range of readers, including those with post-beginners Greek. It represents an ideal introduction, not only to the social and philosophical world of Classical Greece, but also to the personality of one of its greatest thinkers.
