Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Plato's Apology of Socrates and Crito, and a Part of the Phaedo: With Introduction, Commentary, and Critical Appendix
The dramatic form which Plato has given to his report of these conversations has been indicated by notes at the proper points. The form is very likely more regular and artistic than that actually em ployed by Socrates, but it has preserved for us the vital fact that skillful conversation was the method by which the great master brought him self to bear both intellectually and morally upon his followers. It has seemed worth while also in this way to emphasize the exquisite literary form in which the poet-philosopher has preserved to us these discourses.
