Try to Persuade Socrates Friends to Save Him

seek to persuade the Socratess friends to save him, against his lead. Socrates Is star of the most colorful figures of the ancient Greek world, who the strangeness of silence life have always been of special philosophical and political science. He was convict to death because he does non believe in God and corrupted the youth plenty to do the analogous. In Platos dialogue Crito, Socrates spent his last time in the prison. Crito is coming to save Socrates and have plans how to make his get out. Socrates discussing with Crito should he escape from prison or non and gives arguments wherefore he take aways to stay and waiting for his death.Crito sincerely wants to save his close friend but Socrates explain his wisdom thoughts I am the kind of human being who listens to nothing within me but the argument that on reflection seems best to me. I cannot, now that this denominate has come upon me, discard the arguments I used they seem to me much the same. I value and respect th e same principles as before, and If we have no better arguments to bring up at this moment, be sure that I shall not agree with you (Crito, 46 b,c) and take a decision he does not want to be save. Furthermore, Crito shows some of his arguments why Socrates should escape.First, If he dies he leave behind leaves his 3 children and family. Second, If Socrates dies, Crito will lose close friend. Third, If Crito will not save him, this will be a big shame for his reputation . On the one hand, among his friends, because it will seems that Crito did not his best to save him. On the other hand among the people in capital of Greece however because they expect it to happen and the opinion of majority still matter. Therefore, If Crito will not save Socrates, the people will think that he does not want to do it and does not want to spend notes for him.In this arguments, Crito wants to make Socrates to change his opinion and to go out of prison, because, all of his friends are ready to do everything for him We would be justified in running this risk to save you, and worse, if necessary. (Crito, 45e). Also, if he is dead he will neer see his grow up children and how they are doing well in life. Moreover, staying in the prison is the easiest thing, more catchy to reach is the courage which one man like Socrates needs to find in himself.In response to Crito ,Socrates says his arguments why he should stay. First , he believed that the opinion of majority is not the important thing and Crito does not need to worry about it. Second, Socrates was a man who trust in reason and Law, so for him it is impossible to hold up the rules and to go out form prison, this will be unjustly among the Athenian state. He believed that he must stay in prison because for him the good life, the beautiful life, and the just life are the same (Crito,48b).He believed that the life, has no value if his life is without moral. Third , Socrates cannot leave the prison because he believed that his loyalty of Athens would be ) incursion if he escape. In addition, with his escape , he thought that he would harm his own soul, because go wronging the rules and harming the metropolis it is the same like harming the soul. He was made an argument to follow the Law and can not break it. Following this further the most important thing is to live moral and just life.However, Socrates friends should save him, omit that they will lose a good friend and he will leave alone 3 young children , but also because Socrates is contradictory in his opinions. Generally, he give tongue to that the opinion of majority it is not so important thing, but now he still thinking how a educated and judicious person who value the rules and wisdom it will stand with the expert in right and wrong We should not think so much of what the majority will say about us , but what he will say who understand justice and injustice, the one , that is , and the truth itself. (Crito,48a) On the one hand , he sa id that he believed in Athens Law and he will do it wrong and artifice if made his escape. In fact, he is sentenced in death because of corrupting the youth but actually he is innocent. So, where is the Law now? The Athens Law failed when sentenced a innocent men to death , because this is against the principles of legal philosophys and rules. Additionally, nowhere it is compose that Socrates has a contract with his state to follow the rules, and If he wants he can escape.So If he breaks the law, it will not be a big risk for the state, because it is already incorrect. On the other hand , he said that an injustice should not be rewarded with another injustice, because it leads to more evil. He mentioned that it is unjustly to escape from prison because this will be breaking the law, but the real meaning is Athens and wrongful death sentence against him, just because he is innocent man and it is more unjustly to death for something which actually you have never did it. feces we s ay that Socrates believed in something insane and impossible?Definitelly yes Because of this he will never understand the chance to escape and So one must never do wrong (Crito,49b)All in all, instead of his friends help, he did not leave the prison and just drink his cup with poison. In conclusion, Crito dialogue maybe teach us that everybody have point of view over the life. Maybe Socrates wants to value the Law and for him this is right and death is a free will. He believed that the Law have given him the possibility to have the great life and without law he will never be this person who is now.Nevertheless, Socrates still wrong for his fiends. He needs to be save and to live with his family, to protect them, to deny his unjust death, but every time some of them- his friends or Socrates will be wrong. But there is not more right way of a person who stand up for his truth. Bibliography Crito in Plato Five Dialogues Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo, trans. G. M.
