Socrates' Divine Mission - Plato's Apology - Gregory B. Sadler

This lecture discusses Socrates' divine mission as presented in Plato's work, The Apology. In that work, Socrates is on trial, defending himself against charges of impiety and corrupting the young of Athens. He refutes those charges, and also narrates the story of how he ended up doing philosophy. In this lecture we discuss Socrates' argument that philosophy is a divine mission for him
