Apology: Socrates’ Defense

Apology: Socrates’ Defense, a well-known dialogue of Plato, is published by Okur Yazar Derneği Publications. Readers can access the book as a free PDF ebook in Okuryazar’s digital library.

As Okur Yazar Derneği Publications, we publish classical and contemporary books in the fields of science, culture, arts, and thought. Additionally, our publications include works of literature, such as poetry, short stories, and novels.

In this context, as a mark of respect and tribute to both Plato and Benjamin Jowett, who translated Plato’s works into English, we have decided to republish Plato’s dialogues as invaluable treasures, worthy of a place in any distinguished collection. We are therefore pleased to present Plato’s Apology to the interest and appreciation of our readers.

This book focuses on the trial and eventual death sentence of Socrates, Plato’s teacher. It provides an opportunity to reflect on important issues such as justice, truth, the public good, and coexistence in any society.

You may choose to read Plato’s works in the digital library of the Okuryazar platform. We hope this will make a modest contribution to the cultural and academic life of philosophy and political science students and readers around the world.

Happy reading…
