«Apologie de Socrate / Criton» is the philosophical work by Plato, published by GF Flammarion in paperback (262 pages, in French).
In Athens in 399 BC, Socrates faces the court that accuses him of not honouring the gods, creating new cults and corrupting the youth; Plato turns his defence into the founding myth of philosophy. Already in prison, Socrates rejects the escape proposed by Crito: better to die than to violate the laws and commit an injustice.
1999 edition with translation, introduction, notes, index and bibliography by Luc Brisson; complete text of both dialogues in the GF collection.
Recommended for philosophy students and readers interested in the Platonic dialogues in their original French version.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher of Classical Athens who is most commonly considered the foundational thinker of the Western philosophical tradition. An innovator of the literary dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato influenced all the major areas of theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the collection of philosophical theories that would later become known as Platonism.
