In tracing these events through four dialogues, Plato also developed his own philosophy, based on Socrates' manifesto for a life guided by self-responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEuthyphro\u003c\/em\u003e finds Socrates outside the court-house, debating the nature of piety, while \u003cem\u003eThe Apology\u003c\/em\u003e is his robust rebuttal of the charges of impiety and a defence of the philosopher's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the \u003cem\u003eCrito\u003c\/em\u003e, while awaiting execution in prison, Socrates counters the arguments of friends urging him to escape. Finally, in the \u003cem\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/em\u003e, he is shown calmly confident in the face of death, skilfully arguing the case for the immortality of the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45913218187500,"sku":"9780140449280","price":21.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780140449280.jpg?v=1731968794","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/the-last-days-of-socrates-by-plato-9780140449280","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
