Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence - Aristotle

In this episode we continue our discussion the trial and death of Socrates. We pick up from the Apology of Socrates and discuss the Crito. Crito was a wealthy friend of Socrates who sought to help him escape from prison. This dialogue is a well-written exchange between the two over the moral implications of escaping and the role of the individual within the state. There is a brief discussion on whether or not the Crito is compatible with the Apology of Socrates and why more checks and balances were not argued for in the Republic.
