A review by snowbenton
The Last Days of Socrates by Plato

1.0

Because I am some sort of horrible book-pack-rat, I actually had two different editions of this book on my shelf. The other gave me the impression that Socrates was irritating with good intentions. This one had the full Phaedo, which leaves me, a modern human and atheist, thoroughly over Socrates. He spends a ridiculous amount of time concocting inane arguments for the existence and immortality of the soul and then goes on to describe what earth really looks like and what the afterlife really is. Exhausting.
