Plato’s Apology

Experience directly a primary text of the founding master of western philosophy. We will closely read source material that has profoundly influenced development of the western cultural and philosophic tradition.

See how Socrates’ life can be emulated and Plato’s principles practiced.

Plato is a master craftsman, not only in his recording of Socrates’ life, but in his beautifully unfolding literary masterpieces. The Apology, not so much a dialogue as Socrates’ speech in defence at his trial, sets out the main tenets and inspirations of his life, whilst incorporating many principles and philosophic gems.

Enter the world of Socrates, the master of enquiry, and gain insight into the mind of Plato – philosopher extraordinaire.
