What survives of his thought are second-hand descriptions of his teachings and conversations--including, most famously, the accounts of his trial and execution composed by his friend, student, and philosophical successor, Plato. In \u003cem\u003eEuthyphro\u003c\/em\u003e, Socrates examines the concept of piety and displays his propensity for questioning Athenian authorities. Such audacity is not without consequence, and in the \u003cem\u003eApology\u003c\/em\u003e we find Socrates defending himself in court against charges of impiety and corruption of the youth. \u003cem\u003eCrito\u003c\/em\u003e depicts Socrates choosing to accept the resulting death sentence rather than escape Athens and avoid execution. All three dialogues are included here, as is the final scene of \u003cem\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/em\u003e, in which the sentence is carried out. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Bailey\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Philosophy and Associate Dean of Arts at the University of Guelph.
