The last days of Socrates, immediately before his execution was going to take place in.
In the dialogue, Socrates"" friend, Crito, proposes that Socrates escape from.
prison. Socrates considers this proposal, trying to decide if escaping would be ""just"".
and ""morally justified."" Eventually, Socrates concludes that the act is considered.
""unjust"" and ""morally unjustified."" Socrates decides to accept his death penalty and.
execution. Socrates was a man who would obey truth in all matters. In his refusal to.
accept exile from Athens or silence as a penalty, he takes the penalty of death and is.
thrown into prison. While Socrates is awaiting his execution, many of his friends,.
including Crito, arrive with a foolproof plan for his escape from Athens to live in exile.
voluntarily. Socrates calmly debates with each friend over the moral value and.
justification of such an act. Crito believed that by helping Socrates to escape, he could go.
on to fulfill his personal obligations. Also, if Socrates does not follow the plan, many.
people would assume that his friends did not care about him enough to help him escape.
or that his friends are not willing to give their time or money in order to help him.
Therefore, Crito goes on to argue that Socrates ought to escape from the prison. After.
listening to Crito"'s arguments, Socrates dismisses them as irrelevant to a decision about.
what action is truly right. In the arguments that Socrates makes, what other people think.
does not matter. The only opinions that should matter are the ones of the individuals that.
truly know. According to Socrates, the only opinion that he is willing to consider would.
be that of the state. The argument moves from one of a general moral decision to the.
morality of his specific case. He basically says avoiding the sentence handed down by the.
jury would be disobeying the state, Socrates decides not to escape. Socrates chose to.
honor his commitment to truth and morality, even though it cost him his life.
