In each book Plato touches on different topics dealing with the art‚ that he feels effect society then. Today‚ some of the points that Plato argue can still be argued.

“The irreverent‚ disobedient Socrates of the Apology is inconsistent with the Socrates of the Crito.” Construct an argument supporting or refuting this claim. Be sure to incorporate textual evidence. In Plato’s Apology‚ Socrates comes off as a defiant and disobedient man with little respect for his accusers and even for the jurors on whom his fate depends.
