This first sentence is crucial to the theme of the entire speech. Indeed, in the Apology Socrates will suggest that philosophy begins with a sincere admission of ignorance; he later clarifies this, dramatically stating that whatever wisdom he has, comes from his thinking that he knows nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Jowett, Plato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1535077832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781535077835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.01w x 0.07d","brand":"Benjamin Jowett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067245654271,"sku":"9781535077835","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21590558-642c-4391-9d9f-b0fa65f52e03.jpg?v=1685412074","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/apology-benjamin-jowett-9781535077835","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
