Suppose you encountered someone who maintained: "much of what Socrates went through at the end of his life could have been easily avoided if he had only taken his own advice and lived a private life as he himself said in the Apology. He would not have
offended the rich and powerful, he would not have been put on trial, and he would not have had to reason with Crito about the
appropriateness of escaping."
How would you reply? Would "being private" in this sense mean giving up anything that he holds to be important? If so, clarify
what would have to be forsaken, and why you think he would not be willing to do so. It would be helpful to consider Socrates'
self-description as a "gadfly" for Athenian society. How did he put this into practice and does this explain why he was brought
to trial and executed?
