Plato -- The Last Days Of Socrates / Philosophical Analysis

Abstract: An 8 page research paper in which the writer examines Socrates' indictment and his contempt towards his accusers. It is argued that Socrates might have received a lighter punishment had he not proposed ones that was so markedly sarcastic on his own. The 'true' grounds for the attack on Socrates are examined as are the reasons why he refused to flee even when given the chance to do so by Crito. The 'practical use of reason' as evidenced by Socrates' own thought & actions is of primary importance to this discussion. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
