Plato’s ”Crito,” Part 1

In the series of dialogues relating to the trial and death of Socrates, the "Crito" comes before the PHAEDO, which we just completed here on Simple Gifts. It concerns itself with the morning of the same day, the day of Socrates' death, relating a conversation with one of his oldest and best friends, Crito, who was also present at his trial. Crito attempts to persuade his friend to flee Athens with an argument that, on further consideration, Socrates rejects. To get the full flavor of Plato's account of the Socrates' trial and death, the order of events are: 1) the Euthyphro, 2) the Apology, 3) the Crito, and 4) the Phaedo. This series of dialogues, along with THE REPUBLIC were profoundly important in my turn from atheism to Christ. Why not listen and see why?
