Sokrates'in Savunması / Veritas

by Plato

Mo 399'un ilkbaharinda, yetmis yasindayken dinsizlik ve genclerin ahlakini bozma suclamalariyla Atina'da mahkeme onune cikarilan Sokrates "sozleriyle degil isleriyle" kendini savunur. Kendisini "ustalikla" savunacak bir konusmayi okumayi, ogrencilerinin odeyecegi yuklu bir kefaleti ya da hayatinin son gunlerini surgunde gecirmeyi reddederek bile isteye olumune yurur. Savunma yorumcular tarafindan siklikla cok az, hatta hicbir felsefi ana fikre sahip olmamakla elestirilir.Oysa yukarida sunulan oyku Savunma'nin sadece kurgusal iskeletidir. Platon'un mahkeme onune cikardigi Sokrates'in kendisinden cok, onun hakikati ortaya cikarma yollaridir. Hakikati arastirma yollari Sokrates'in ahlakinin kurucu ogeleridir. Aslinda Savunma diyalektigin diyalektik bir gerekcelendirilmesini sunar. Platon'un gozunde itham edilen de Sokrates'in ugruna oldugu de bu yontemdir. Sokrates'in yasami da olumu de bu yontemin basarisini ortaya koyar.(Tanitim Bulteninden)Sayfa Sayisi: 225Baski Yili: 2015Dili: TurkceYayinevi: Alfa Yayincilik

About the author

Plato (Greek: Πλάτων), born Aristocles (c. 427 – 348 BC), was an ancient Greek philosopher of the Classical period who is considered a foundational thinker in Western philosophy and an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms. He raised problems for what became all the major areas of both theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Platonic Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the doctrines that would later become known as Platonism.
Plato's most famous contribution is the theory of forms (or ideas), which has been interpreted as advancing a solution to what is now known as the problem of universals. He was decisively influenced by the pre-Socratic thinkers Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, although much of what is known about them is derived from Plato himself.
Along with his teacher Socrates, and Aristotle, his student, Plato is a central figure in the history of philosophy. Plato's entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years—unlike that of nearly all of his contemporaries. Although their popularity has fluctuated, they have consistently been read and studied through the ages. Through Neoplatonism, he also greatly influenced both Christian and Islamic philosophy. In modern times, Alfred North Whitehead famously said: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato."

Sokrates'in öğrencisi olan Platon'un yazmış olduğu, sokrates'in düşüncelerinden dolayı yargılanmasını konu alan klasik eser; bilgi, bilgili olma konularinda derin tespitler içermektedir ve kesinlikle başucu kitaplarındandır.
