Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharged with \"impiety\" and sentenced to death under the law of Athens, Socrates did not try to disprove the charges or to escape death, but rather held to a different kind of rhetoric, aiming not at persuasion but at truth. 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\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eCrito\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e R.
