Plato’s “Apology” / Wisdom Of Socrates : A 10 page paper
arguing that in the Apology, Socrates proves that all he was
accused of was misguided wisdom brought about by the belief
of his accusers that they were wise, rather than consider the
possibility that they had no special claim on wisdom. In the
course of that inquisition Socrates not only proves their
ignorance, but true to his purpose also uses the opportunity to
continue to teach his pupils, despite their designs for him. In
this life or death situation, he is able to convey that virtue is
important above all else and that knowledge can be achieved by
this understanding. However, the pursuit of wisdom is never
complete, because even in the last moments of his life, Socrates
was still learning the wisdom behind the Oracle’s original
message. The primary source is cited. Apology.wps

Plato’s “Apology” / Philosophy or Sophism : A 5 page paper
that considers Socrates arguments in response to the call for the
death penalty. This paper contends that while Socrates used
sophism as a means of supporting his arguments for what he
believed he "deserved" for his crimes, this only supported the
philosophical premise of his argument. Socpo.wps

Plato’s “Apology” / Was Socrates’ 'Guilty' Verdict Just ? :
In 4 pages, the writer attempts to answer this very question. It is
believed that in Athenian terms, Socrates was in fact, guilty of
impiety and corrupting the young but that the integrity of his
accusers needs to be more closely examined. Even in light of
this, it is brought out that the concept of 'innocent until proven
guilty' did not apply in this case and moreover, Socrates
admitted to his own guilt. Thus, there is no reason -- from an
Athenian point-of-view,-- to find Socrates 'not guilty' of the
charges made against him. A very well-developed argument is
provided. No Bibliography. Socrjury.wps

Plato's "Apology" / Socrates & His Dichotomous Profiles :
A 5 page paper that reflects on the two different and seemingly
contradictory profiles of Socrates that become evident in a
reading of the Apology. Initially, Socrates seems almost
self-effacing, but following the finding of his guilt, Socrates is
noisily heroic and refuses to beg for mercy. These
contradictory images are presented and demonstrates support
for Socrates’ belief that “the unexamined life is not worth
living.” No additional sources cited. Socang.wps
