Description

Plato's Crito examines a single moral decision, whether Socrates ought to escape from his death-cell.

Stokes' book discusses Socrates' arguments against Crito's offer of escape.

It construes Socrates' questions as genuine questions, which clarify and undermine Crito's positions.

Stokes's approach avoids the 'documentary fallacy'; it shows how Plato catered for both the novice and the experienced reader of his published works.

This book offers a fresh account of Socrates' whole strategy.

It demonstrates both the shakiness of Socrates' persuasion of the un-philosophical Crito to engage in dialectic, and the coherence of his substantive confutation.

Plato's reasoning emerges from Stokes' study with more credit than many have given it.
