People don't like when you call them stupid. And then you get the death penalty.

In Apology, Socrates introduces the idea of professionalism in politics that Plato would later develop into his rejection of democracy. In addition to being one of the earliest examples of well-developed political theory as well as an accomplished work of art, Apology is also one of the saddest books ever written. As I read it, in full awareness of the ultimate fate of its narrator, I was shaken and moved by Socrates' resolute stand for truth. The final pages are hard to read and as you see him tell the truth as he sees it even while he hurtles to his own death, Socrates' actions acquire an aura of pure bravery rarely matched by anything in literature or history.
