Socrates

1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages) | 1 source | 2005 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper links the notions, put forward by Plato, of the relationship of the soul to human virtue and how these abstract notions bring Socrates to the conclusion that he must kill himself. The paper argues that Socrates' conception of the social contract is somewhat flawed: the fact that Athens is an unjust place is overlooked. Consequently, it argues that Socrates' duty to society is to live and fight injustice.
