What is Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to Plato and the Trial of Socrates about?
Socrates is one of the most influential philosophers in western civilisation, and Plato his most famous pupil.

In this GuideBook, Brickhouse and Smith provide clear explanations of these texts for students coming to them for the first time. Situating the works in their historical context, the authors carefully go through each text, exploring the philosophical issues raised in an accessible way.
