Socrates, by the force of his reasoning, by his permanent quest for meaning and truth, by his high moral standards, by his serenity in the face of death, was able to definitively mark the history of Western thought.
At the age of seventy, in 399 BCE, he was summoned to court in Athens. He is accused of not believing in the gods of the city and of corrupting the youth. Calmly, he refutes the reproaches made to him. His speech is both a life lesson and a philosophical testament.
A compass in a world lacking stable points of reference, Plato's Apology of Socrates has spanned the centuries to guide us towards a free, courageous, honest, happy and profound existence.
