Socrates and Steve Jobs on Death and Truth

In Part 4 of The Great Speeches of History, Sam and Nick wax philosophical. First, they tell the story of the trial and death of Socrates. Why did the Oracle declare Socrates the wisest man of his time? Why did the elites of ancient Athens accuse him of crimes against the city? And what wisdom did he offer in his final speech, recorded by his student Plato, delivered just days before his execution? Then, they turn to the modern genius Steve Jobs, and his 2005 commencement address at Stanford. How was Steve Jobs like Socrates? How did dropping out of college lead to Apple's success? And how did a near-death experience change his perspective on life? All this, plus a couple surprises, in "Socrates and Steve Jobs on Death and Truth."

Show notes:

Plato, Euthyphro and Apology (399 BC)

Jacques Louis-David, The Death of Socrates (1787)

Steve Jobs, "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" (2005)

Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs (2011)
