(RE)READ:

“Apology” from Five Dialogues

THINK:

What is Socrates’ ‘convincing proof’ for the claim that death is not an evil?

Can we reformulate what he says here as an argument for living a particular kind of life?

What does this story tell us about Socrates’ view concerning narrative and agency?

What does the story reveal about Socrates view concerning human beings?

Does Socrates leave out anything that is relevant for how we should conceive of the Good Life?
