Description
Known as the philosopher’s philosopher, Socrates serves as an exemplar of wisdom and virtue. During his final days his attitude toward his accusers and the court stands out as a personal testimonial to character and virtue. In the face of injustice Socrates retained his dignity and integrity as both a philosopher and a human. He provides strong reminders of what it means to be a true human, even in our times of crumbling democracy.
