I was really looking forward to listing to this and was disappointed. While the actual apology was intriguing the narrator was dry and uneventful. It was very hard to relate to the story when the narrator sounded like an old uncle telling you what's right and wrong. IJS

Good Book.

It's a good audio.

Interesting…political situations have always been scary!

I can't emphasize enough how great this book is!

Very good educational

This recording reminded me of why I chose philosophy as a major, and sorry that I later dropped out. I am pleased it is offered.

Not the version recounted in plato's Five Dialogues: which is far superior given the further insights it provides into the cause for the initial indictment of Socrates. It is also superior in thanks to the inclusion of the speech made by Socrates after the first vote but before the second, thereby providing the cause of the disparity between the number of votes in his favor and against between the two sessions. This version is considerably heavier in defense of Socrates' devoutness to the gods. See the work "euthyphro" (sp?) appearing earlier in the "Five Dialogues" for insight into Socrates' "wisdom" concerning piety. It offers something of a conflict with the first speech made by Socrates in this audiobook.
