In one of Plato’s work about Socrates‚ the Apology‚ Socrates sets up an argument for disobeying the laws of men that he appears to be at odds with another argument in another work about Socrates by Plato about excepting punishment in Crito. Many believes that these inconsistencies are actually the invention of Plato. But regardless of whether these are fictional accounts they are not actually contradictory
