  1. Why Socrates’ Legs Didn’t Run Off to Megara.Ellisif Wasmuth - 2020 - Phronesis 65 (4):380-413.
    I argue that the arguments presented in Socrates’ dialogue with the personified Laws of the Crito are arguments Socrates endorses and relies upon when deciding to remain in prison. They do not, however, entail blind obedience to every court verdict, nor do they provide necessary and sufficient conditions for resolving every dilemma of civil disobedience. Indeed, lacking definitional knowledge of justice, we should not expect Socrates to be able to offer such conditions. Instead, the Laws present an argument that is (...)

  • Socrates and the Laws of Athens.Thomas C. Brickhouse & Nicholas D. Smith - 2006 - Philosophy Compass 1 (6):564–570.
    The claim that the citizen's duty is to “persuade or obey” the laws, expressed by the personified Laws of Athens in Plato's Crito, continues to receive intense scholarly attention. In this article, we provide a general review of the debates over this doctrine, and how the various positions taken may or may not fit with the rest of what we know about Socratic philosophy. We ultimately argue that the problems scholars have found in attributing the doctrine to Socrates derive from (...)

  • La obligación política en Platón como un problema de doble vía: perspectivas desde Apología, Critón y República.Pablo Bezus - 2025 - Revista de Filosofía (La Plata) 54 (2):e113.
    El problema de la obligación política es tratado tempranamente en la filosofía política por parte de Platón, quien en distintos diálogos presenta argumentos que sostienen la existencia de dicha obligación, así como sus límites, con lo que constituye un antecedente clave de las elaboraciones teóricas modernas sobre este tema. En el presente trabajo abordo de forma analítica las diferentes fundamentaciones ofrecidas en tres textos del autor, Apología, Critón y República, mostrando no sólo la variedad de argumentos teóricos que se encuentran (...)

  • Denn dies ist mir viel wert, Kriton...: Zu Text und Interpretation von Plat. Crit. 48e4.Markus Kersten - 2018 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 162 (2):232-246.
    The paper concerns the textual form of the sentence Crit. 48e4. A return to the transmitted infinitive πεῖσαι is proposed; at the same time, it is demonstrated that the sentence is thereby ambiguous. Yet, it can be shown that this ambiguousness does not render the passage meaningless. In fact, the transmitted text is interpretively extremely rich, because with the indefinite infinitive a central problem of the dialogue, the demand ‘to convince or obey’, is accentuated in a distinctive way, namely in (...)
