Light soiling to top edge. ; With placeholder ribbon. ; 21.6 x 14.2 x 2.5 cms; Plato’s The Last Days of Socrates—a grouping of the dialogues Euthyphro Apology Crito and Phaedo—offers a powerful and enduring portrait of Socrates’ final days capturing his trial imprisonment and death. Often published together including in The Guild Books edition these texts explore central philosophical themes such as justice piety duty and the immortality of the soul. Euthyphro takes place shortly before Socrates' trial. He meets Euthyphro a man prosecuting his own father for impiety and together they debate the nature of piety. Socrates challenges Euthyphro’s definitions asking whether the gods love the pious because it is pious or whether it is pious because the gods love it. The dialogue ends unresolved as Socrates finds Euthyphro’s arguments lacking in clarity and consistency. In the Apology Socrates stands before the Athenian court defending himself against accusations of corrupting the youth and impiety. He speaks plainly and with conviction asserting that he is guided by a divine mission to encourage critical thought and virtue. Socrates refuses to pander to the jury ultimately accepting the guilty verdict and the death sentence rather than compromise his principles. Crito is set in Socrates’ prison cell where his friend Crito urges him to escape. Socrates calmly refuses arguing that to break the laws of Athens would be unjust even if the laws themselves have condemned him unfairly. He explains that he has benefited from and agreed to live under these laws and to flee would be to undermine the moral and legal foundation of the city. Phaedo recounts Socrates’ final conversation before his death. In the company of his friends and disciples he offers a series of arguments for the immortality of the soul including the theory of opposites the doctrine of recollection and the soul’s affinity with the divine and unchanging. The dialogue ends with Socrates taking the poison hemlock and dying peacefully confident that the soul lives on after death. Together these four dialogues trace a coherent philosophical journey—from ethical questioning to legal reasoning civic responsibility and metaphysical reflection. They not only memorialise Socrates’ death but also exemplify the principles by which he lived. The Guild Books edition presents these works in an accessible and enduring format allowing readers to engage with one of the foundational figures of Western thought. . Guild Publishing hardcover
