About this book
In the heart of the Age of Enlightenment, "Socrates" by Voltaire emerges as a profound exploration of justice and morality. This dramatic work delves into the philosophical dialogues surrounding Socrates' trial, where the concepts of virtue and the pursuit of truth clash with societal norms. Through the lens of Socratic thought, Voltaire examines the tension between individual conscience and collective judgment, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of ethical governance. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this play not only illuminates the timeless struggle for intellectual freedom but also challenges us to consider the implications of our own beliefs. Engage with this compelling narrative that resonates with the quest for unalienable rights and the essence of human dignity.
