Death To Socrates Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates. The “Apology”, pp. 19-41 “Socrates is an evil-doer, and a curious person, who searches into things under the earth and in heaven, and he makes the worse appear the better cause; and he teaches the aforesaid doctrines to others”. (pp. 21) This is the nature of the accusation against Socrates for his work. Socrates was a philosopher with no real answers only an abundance of questions he shared with the people of his time, that would eventually cost him his life. An example most noted of him testing people with ideas was when he seeked the oracle. It is said that Socrates met with the oracle and asked if any one was wiser then he. With confidence the oracle replied that one was wise her the him. Determined to prove the oracle wrong Socrates met with people of different back rounds that were sought to be wiser then he. While meeting with various groups, including, politicians, poets and other philosophers he realized that even though all are wise in their area of study socrates, people, oracle, wiser, one, death, young, wise, trial, things, taught, realized, question, pp, plato, philosophy, others, met, life, know, hire, different, wrong, write, worth, worse, work, while, various, under, trainer, times, time, though
