Socratic Dialogues: Meno, Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito

These Socratic dialogues follow the infamous philosopher, skeptic, and gadfly Socrates during the final days before his execution for impiety and the corruption of the youth of Athens. Meno recounts his argument about virtue and knowledge with a fellow philosopher. Euthyphro records his debate about virtue and piety with a priest. The Apology documents his defense of the Socratic method and skepticism to a jury. And Crito recalls his discussion of justice with a friend.
