Plato's 'The Apology'

This week we are excited to welcome three experts to discuss their views on Plato’s Apology. Professor of Political Philosophy Steven Smith at Yale University joins us to describe the political importance of the dramatic moment of the trial of Socrates. Next, Katja Vogt, Professor of Philosophy at Columbia, talks about her understanding of Socrates’ famous quote: “I know that I know nothing.” Finally, Alexander Nehamas, Professor of Philosophy at Princeton, discusses what true Socratic irony and dialectic are. Listeners will be able to discuss these views on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, or on rereadingspodcast.com.
