«Socrates' Defence» is Plato's philosophical discourse, published by Penguin Books in paperback (64 pages, in English).
The work collects Socrates' final defence, Plato's master, in a text halfway between historical account and philosophical thought. Socrates argues his position and responds to the accusations he faces.
Number 52 of the Penguin Little Black Classics collection. The original Greek title of the work is Ἀπολογία Σωκράτους.
For those interested in classical philosophy and ancient Greece; its short length and pocket format make it a good introduction to Plato.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher of Classical Athens who is most commonly considered the foundational thinker of the Western philosophical tradition. An innovator of the literary dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato influenced all the major areas of theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the collection of philosophical theories that would later become known as Platonism.
