Die Athener und Sokrates: Die Gesetzlichen und der Revolutionär

Description: This book examines the complex relationship between the philosopher Socrates and the people of Athens, challenging the popular narrative that portrays Socrates as a victim of the Athenian democracy. Exploring the historical and political context of the time, the author argues that Socrates's teachings, particularly his rejection of traditional beliefs and values, were at odds with the Athenian constitution and contributed to the social and political turmoil that plagued the city during the Peloponnesian War. The book delves into the charges of impiety and corruption brought against Socrates, examining the evidence presented by his accusers and the defense offered by his supporters. It highlights the contrasting perspectives of Socrates and the Athenians on religion, ethics, and the role of the individual in society. Through a thorough analysis of primary sources, including Plato's Apology and Xenophon's Memorabilia, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the trial and death of Socrates, shedding light on the complex interplay between philosophy, politics, and the search for truth in ancient Athens.
