June 14– From Crito by Plato translated by Benjamin Jowett
Summary: Socrates is going to die, but not today.
Commentary: I've said before that I don't really care for these philosophical dialogues, since they inevitably devolve into one of the characters mindlessly agreeing that the other is such a genius while the other rambles on. This one was okay for the first half or so, but then it lapses into the usual. I thought the beginning was going to be unexpected hanging paradox, but no.
