I've been reading Plato's dialogues. They are excellent... I've read 'The Apology', 'Euthyphro', 'Symposium' and 'The Republic'.

Not one after the other, but over my life. What do you think about these or any other dialogues?

I will respond not all at once, but over the course of the next few weeks.

I just read the Apology and Crito, and readin them was legendary.

OP here. Just about to read Crito. I picked up this book from a local charity shop called 'The last days of Socrates'; it contains Euthyphro, Apology, Crito and Phaedo, in that order. Socrates is badass. Like Jesus or the Buddha

I wonder if he would have chose to die also if he had been accused when he was younger.
