Comparison between Crito and Apology For these two articles that we read in Crito and Apology by Plato‚ we could know Socrates is an enduring person with imagination‚ because he presents us with a mass of contradictions: Most eloquent men‚ yet he never wrote a word; ugliest yet most profoundly attractive; ignorant yet wise; wrongfully convicted‚ yet unwilling to avoid his unjust execution. Behind these conundrums is a contradiction less often explored: Socrates is at once the most Athenian‚ most

Marbles in the Acropolis Museum in Greece‚ there are still requests by the Greek government to return the Marbles from Britain. Lord Elgin’s decision to salvage the Marbles finds a way to appear as vandalism in the eyes of others.

the Republic‚ Plato claims that only a very few individuals are capable of understanding how human life is to be lived. If it could be done‚ the rest of us would be best off it we were to let out lives be controlled by such individuals". This position held by Plato has been one of much discussion and disagreement over the years. In this paper I will attempt to give my own insight and stand on Plato ’s position and will evaluate his position as it emerges throughout the Apology‚ the Crito and the Republic

Some even felt that playing this music backwards would make it sound better. Nevertheless‚ these arguments are not debatable. People seem to forget the time period they are in.
