TGC Ep. 29 | Why Did Socrates Give Up and Die? | Crito by Plato

In this episode, we are discussing Crito by Plato. Socrates is in prison and Crito comes to him hoping to convince him to jailbreak and exile to a foreign land. Socrates proceeds to argue his case for staying in prison and accepting the justice of the state. 

The commitment of Socrates to his state is inspiring and leads us into a discussion on what we are committed to in our lives and how to apply the commitment of Socrates to our interpersonal relationships. 

We really enjoyed discussing this work on The Great Conversation this week, and we hope you'll join us in the comments section.
