DEATH OF SOCRATES: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Who’s to blame for the Death of Socrates?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) decides who’s to blame for the death of perhaps the most famous philosopher of all time, Socrates. With Athens in post-war political turmoil and a people with a strong deference to the will of the Gods, is it any wonder his “Gadfly Style” of questioning authority rubbed some Athenians the wrong way? Did The Oracle at Delphi proclaiming there was no wiser man than Socrates contribute to his eventual conviction? Or perhaps this was simply the will of the Gods!
