«Critón» is Plato's Socratic dialogue, published by Adiax in paperback (214 pages, bilingual edition).
Socrates awaits his execution in his cell when he receives his friend Crito, who proposes an escape plan. The conversation turns into a debate on justice and law: Socrates argues that disobeying the city, even in the face of an unjust sentence, damages the foundations of coexistence. The dialogue addresses civil disobedience, moral duty, and the virtuous life.
Includes a direct translation from the Greek, notes, and a preliminary study by Enrique Barbieri and Silvia Mulvihill, and belongs to the Camafeo mayor collection.
Aimed at readers of classical philosophy and students of the Platonic dialogues on justice and civil disobedience.
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.
