Description

What can we learn about the trial of Socrates from Platos dialogues? Most scholars say we can learn a lot from the Apology, but not from the rest. Platos Trial of Athens rejects this assumption and argues that Plato used several of his dialogues to turn the tables on Socrates accusers: they blamed Socrates for something the city had done to itself. Plato wanted to set the record straight and save his city from repeating her worst mistakes of the 5th century. Platos Trial of Athens addresses challenging questions about the historicity of Platos dialogues, and it traces Platos critique of Athenian public life and polis culture from the trial in 399 up through the Laws and the Atlantis myth in the Critias and Timaeus. In the end, Ralkowski shows that what began as a bitter response to the unjust, politically-charged trial of Socrates, evolved into a pessimistic reflection on the role of philosophy in a democratic society, a theory about Athens 5th century decline, and cautionary tale about the corrupting influences of naval imperialism.
