Principles for Life/Apology and Crito

Abstract: A 4 page essay that discusses these two dialogues. Plato maintains in his various dialogues that the exemplary principles expounded upon by Socrates are crucial to living a good life. Plato portrays Socrates; even in when facing his own death, as serene, a man at peace with himself and immune to the vicissitudes of life. Within his dialogues, Plato intimates that Socrates achieved this equitable perspective on life by adhering scrupulously to his personal principles. This examination of principles drawn from Plato's "Apology" and "Crito" demonstrates support for his contention that by following the dictums of Socrates an individual can craft a life that is both satisfying and happy.
