In \u003ci\u003eSocrates and Legal Obligation\u003c\/i\u003e, R.E. Allen contends that Plato's works on Socrates' acceptance of death-the \u003ci\u003eApology\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eCrito\u003c\/i\u003e - should be considered together and as such constitute a profound treatment of law and of obligation to law. Allen's study of Socrates' thought on these vital issues is accompanied by his own translations of the \u003ci\u003eApology\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eCrito\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47615374459031,"sku":"9780816656929","price":4596.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780816656929.webp?v=1775100361","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/socrates-and-legal-obligation-9780816656929","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
