    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Socrates is one of the most influential philosophers in western civilisation, and Plato his most famous pupil. The Euthyphro, Apology of Socrates, Crito and the death scene from the Phaedo are Plato's account of Socrates' trial and execution, and together they provide the most important depiction of Socrates' ideas.

    In this GuideBook, Brickhouse and Smith provide clear explanations of these texts for students coming to them for the first time. Situating the works in their historical context, the authors carefully go through each text, exploring the philosophical issues raised in an accessible way.

    Plato and the Trial of Socrates is the ideal introduction to both the ideas of Socrates and the work of Plato.

    "The Routledge Philosophy Guidebook to Plato and the Trial of Socrates is a well-researched, accessible introduction to the texts it discusses... useful not only as an introduction for students, but also as a resource for those who wish to familiarize themselves with the secondary litearture, and for teachers who wish to contextualize these important dialogues for their students." -- Emily Catherine Katz, Duquesne University, Ancient Philosophy
