Product Description
Product Description
Plato studied under Socrates and was Aristotle's teacher. Together these three Greeks developed the basis of philosophical thinking for the entire Western world. Plato was also a writer, mathematician, and founder of the Academy in Athens, which was the first university in Europe. In Euthyphro Socrates discusses the nature of piety. He is on his way to address the senate. In Apology he will defend the charges of corrupting the youth of Athens and in Crito he explains to friends that having benefited from the laws of the state in the past, he cannot violate them now simply because they inconvenience him. These three volumes make an excellent resource for studying Socrates and his world in Athens.

The book described from Wikipedia:, Nov 18 2010
By Mr. Cecil Ponsaing - Published on Amazon.com
From Wikipedia:The Crito (Ancient Greek: '''''' ['kri't''n]; in English usually /'kri'to'/ KREE-toh) is a short but important dialogue by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It is a conversation between Socrates and his wealthy friend Crito regarding justice (dik'), injustice (adikia), and the appropriate response to injustice. Socrates thinks that injustice may not be answered with injustice, and refuses Crito's offer to finance his escape from prison. This dialogue contains an ancient statement of the social contract theory of government.
