Description

In Apology, Plato presents a comprehensive exploration of the notion of atonement, drawing on the ancient Greek concept of metanoia as a route to redemption. Through his examination of Socrates' trial and death, he offers an insightful approach to the human condition in which repentance for one's shortcomings is essential for spiritual fulfillment. He argues that self-reflection is a necessary part of any meaningful exchange between individuals and society, and that it is ultimately through this process that moral progress can be achieved.

Author

Plato (c. 427–347 BCE) wrote the dialogues in which Socrates thinks aloud — justice, love, the shape of a good city. Philosophy here is drama. Interactive Media keeps those conversations in circulation.
