In the final moments of his life, Socrates discusses with a group of friends the nature of death and the immortality of the soul. Based on previous philosophies he argues that the circle of nature is not complete unless the living come from the dead as well as pass to them. His composure demonstrates his conviction that no evil can happen to a good man, in life or death, and that it is his dead body and not him they will bury.

This edition of The Apology is the translation into English from the original Greek by Professor Benjamin Jowett from the third edition of The Dialogues of Plato published in five volumes by Oxford University Press in 1892. Jowett's translation of Plato is a reference in English literature and an artistic achievement in it's own right, preserving in beautiful English the spirit and the direct, clear and elevated style of Plato's writing.
