Try to Persuade Socrates Friends to Save Him

Try to persuade the Socratess friends to keep on him, against his bequeath behind. Socrates Is one of the nearly colorful figures of the ancient Greek world, who the strangeness of privacy life move over al bureaus been of special philosophical and political science. He was convict to finish because he does non believe in God and corrupted the youth people to do the equal. In Platos dialogue Crito, Socrates spent his cobblers last time in the prison. Crito is coming to save Socrates and reach plans how to make his scarper. Socrates discussing with Crito should he escape from prison or not and gives arguments why he demand to stay and waiting for his death.Crito really essentials to save his close friend just now Socrates explain his wisdom thoughts I am the kind of man who listens to secret code within me but the argument that on reflection calculates best to me. I cannot, now that this fate has come upon me, discard the arguments I used they seem to me such(preno minal) the same. I grade and respect the same principles as before, and If we have no better arguments to bring up at this moment, be original that I shall not agree with you (Crito, 46 b,c) and take a finality he does not want to be save. Further more than, Crito shows some of his arguments why Socrates should escape.First, If he dies he allow for leaves his 3 children and family. Second, If Socrates dies, Crito leave lose close friend. Third, If Crito get out not save him, this entrust be a big demean for his reputation . On the one hand, among his friends, because it will seems that Crito did not his best to save him. On the other hand among the people in capital of Greece barely because they expect it to happen and the notion of majority still matter. Therefore, If Crito will not save Socrates, the people will think that he does not want to do it and does not want to spend money for him.In this arguments, Crito wants to make Socrates to pitch his opinion and to go out of prison, because, all of his friends are ready to do everything for him We would be justified in running this risk to save you, and worse, if necessary. (Crito, 45e). Also, if he is dead he will never see his grow up children and how they are doing well in life. Moreover, staying in the prison is the easiest thing, more breathed to reach is the courage which one man like Socrates needs to figure in himself.In response to Crito ,Socrates articulates his arguments why he should stay. First , he believed that the opinion of majority is not the of import thing and Crito does not need to business concern about it. Second, Socrates was a man who trust in reason and rightfulness, so for him it is impossible to break the rules and to go out form prison, this will be unjustly among the Athenian state. He believed that he must stay in prison because for him the good life, the beautiful life, and the just life are the same (Crito,48b).He believed that the life, has no value if hi s life is without moral. Third , Socrates cannot leave the prison because he believed that his loyalty of Athens would be ) infringement if he escape. In addition, with his escape , he thought that he would harm his own soul, because breaking the rules and harming the metropolis it is the same like harming the soul. He was make an argument to follow the legality and can not break it. Following this further the most great thing is to live moral and just life.However, Socrates friends should save him, except that they will lose a good friend and he will leave alone 3 young children , but also because Socrates is contradictory in his opinions. Generally, he said that the opinion of majority it is not so important thing, but now he still thinking how a improve and wise person who value the rules and wisdom it will stand with the technical in right and legal injury We should not think so much of what the majority will say about us , but what he will say who recognise justice and in justice, the one , that is , and the truth itself. (Crito,48a) On the one hand , he said that he believed in Athens Law and he will do it wrong and dishonesty if made his escape. In fact, he is sentenced in death because of corrupting the youth but actually he is innocent. So, where is the Law now? The Athens Law failed when sentenced a innocent men to death , because this is against the principles of impartialitys and rules. Additionally, nowhere it is written that Socrates has a decoct with his state to follow the rules, and If he wants he can escape.So If he breaks the law, it will not be a big risk for the state, because it is already incorrect. On the other hand , he said that an injustice should not be rewarded with another injustice, because it leads to more evil. He mentioned that it is unjustly to escape from prison because this will be breaking the law, but the real meaning is Athens and unlawful death sentence against him, just because he is innocent man and it is more unjustly to death for something which actually you have never did it. Can we say that Socrates believed in something insane and impossible?Definitelly yes Because of this he will never understand the chance to escape and So one must never do wrong (Crito,49b)All in all, instead of his friends help, he did not leave the prison and just drink his cup with poison. In conclusion, Crito dialogue maybe enlighten us that everybody have point of view over the life. Maybe Socrates wants to value the Law and for him this is right and death is a free will. He believed that the Law have given him the possibility to have the great life and without law he will never be this person who is now.Nevertheless, Socrates still wrong for his fiends. He needs to be save and to live with his family, to protect them, to cross his unjust death, but every time some of them- his friends or Socrates will be wrong. But there is not more right way of a person who stand up for his truth. Bibliography Crito in Plato Five Dialogues Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo, trans. G. M.
