«Criton» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by Hatier in paperback (96 pages, in French).
The dialogue recreates the conversation between Socrates, imprisoned and condemned to death, and his friend Crito, who urges him to flee prison. Faced with the imminence of execution, Socrates proposes to calmly examine whether the escape would be just; the reflection thus addresses obedience to the laws, civic duty and moral integrity in the face of death.
It belongs to the Classiques & Cie Philo collection; it includes the complete text and a study dossier (structure of the work, author's context, glossary).
It is aimed at philosophy students following the French educational curriculum and at readers interested in ancient thought.
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.
