书籍介绍
这并非一本让人读起来舒服的哲学入门。苏格拉底站在法庭上，没有恳求，没有泪诉，反而一次又一次地把审判他的人贬得一无是处——他说自己唯一Known的，是自己一无所知，而这恰恰激怒了那些自认全知的政治家与诗人。读者最见仁见智的，正是这份

精彩摘录
- "I admit that I am eloquent. But in how different a way from theirs! because they were good workmen they thought that they also knew all sorts of high matters, and this defect in them overshadowed their wisdom;"
- "God only is wise; and by his answer he intends to show that the wisdom of men is worth little or nothing"
- "he, receiving this warning, utterly despised danger and death, and instead of fearing them, feared rather to live in dishonor , and not to avenge his friend For fear of death is indeed the pretense of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being a presence of knowing the unknown; and no one knows whether deat"
- "not to thought for your persons or your properties, but first and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. And now I depart hence condemned by you to suffer the penalty of death, - they to condemned by the truth to suffer the penalty of villainy and wrong; and I must abide by my a"

用户评论
动人心弦。不只是一篇申辩，更可视为政治哲学宣言，其文采与精彩程度或许只有《共产党宣言》第一章可媲美。苏格拉底根本不是去法庭apology，更似去指责、争辩，激怒雅典民众，英译名反讽意味很强。更多详情可参阅吴飞译的《苏格拉底的申辩》
在the republic被我深切反白眼之后，终于一口气看完了apology, Bravo！Yet，是不是Socrates在默默偷笑，柏拉图又在柏拉图的歌颂
超越生死的申辩太有骨气，穿插苏格拉底独有的阴阳怪气，把自己立于绝对伟光正的形象，又明里暗里地把其他人贬得一无是处。如果我在场，我也会把他投死，然后给他立一座碑，因为他的精神太伟大，他的话语太毒辣，一针一针扎得人无处可逃。

近2500年前的智者在法庭上的死前申辩，不知道怎么说，就感谢柏拉图的好记性不如烂笔头吧。While I have life and strength I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy. / The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways -- I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows.
if i start marking these as individual books it’ll get me feeling more accomplished such is the new perspective i’ve bestowed myself
