Download Apology, Crito, and The Republic, Books 1 and 2 AudioBook Free

For all those looking for "a taste of Plato", this audiobook is ideal. It includes the full text of "Apology" and "Crito", as well as the first two books of Plato's monumental Republic. Most of what we realize about Socrates comes from Plato, his most famous student. Plato called Socrates "the on top of that men I have ever known". "The Apology" is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defends himself contrary to the charges to be a guy "who corrupted the young, didn't believe in the gods, and created new deities". "Apology" here has its earlier meaning of any formal defense of any cause or of one's beliefs or actions. "Crito" is a brief but important dialogue that relates a conversation between Socrates and his wealthy friend, Crito, regarding justice, injustice, and the correct response to injustice. Plato described his notion of a perfect society in his most famous work, the Republic. In the first two books, Socrates sets out to define justice and the most just way of governing.
