The Credibility Of Socrates

Satisfactory Essays

In effect Valerie, Socrates actions were of encouragement that his virtue was before his own life. In general, the fact that he not only believe in obeying the Law he also show concern for Crito’s life. Socrates knew that if Crito and his friends will help him escape their life will be in danger. Additional, the philosophy that he was being accused of shown that his values and ideals was what gave purpose to Socrates. In my opinion, if he escaped he will be denied everything he has taught until that point. In other words, Socrates credibility will be in question not for the Athenians at that moment but to the future generations that will learn from Socrates philosophies.
