Also look for the Symposium - The Drinking Party featuring magnificent Leo McKern as socrates again.

Brilliant little play with big ideas. Superb Cast. 🎭✨👌

So refreshing, so well done. I love learning this way. Thank you for the piece.

This is absolutely brilliant. I'm glad i found it. Highly enjoyable.

Outstanding. Don't quite agree with all of Socrates' arguments, but his determination to question everything and ferret out the truth through sharpened reasoning is inspiring, and so is his fortitude and ethical stance.

Brilliant!!!

Are there any more of these?

I guess his philosophy about death is that our bodies aren’t anything important, they’re just vessels, like barrels holding water. Our soul is what’s important, our soul is who we are. Getting buried wouldn’t mean you’re getting buried it means the body which is containing you (the soul) is just getting buried. Those who are too attached to their body’s and not in tune with their souls end up being ghosts, left wandering while those who are in tune leave the body and gets reincarnated, reborn.

This is a great version of this film! Thank you for sharing. I'm looking for a closed caption version. Any ideas?

Πραγματικό Διαμάντι / ανέκαθεν οι ξένοι αγαπούσαν και σέβονταν την Ελλάδα περισσότερο απο τους Έλληνες / κάθε μέρα πρέπει να έχουμε την Αφύπνιση στο νου μας, συντάσσοντας τον χαρακτήρα και τον τρόπο ζωής μας με την ατομική μας Αλήθεια

I thought that "Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius. Please, don't forget to pay the debt." were his last words.

Misleading and incomplete. While interesting it fails to reflect a complete understanding of his students reflection on how Socrates came to be in jail in the first place. It never mentions Meletus and the reason why Socrates did not defend himself as one of the most erudite ....no words here. Did he commit suicide and use the state of Athena to allow this to happen? Death by Cop. Or, did he become tired of life and the world in which he lived and allowed the state to execute him? Plato's account is more revealing. Like Thomas Aquinas, how did he become so disillusioned to the point, "I have nothing more to say".. Are we living a human experience in a corporeal form? And who is I in this conversation of we? Or, are we transitioning to our next experience? Or perhaps...well that's another conversation....Live long and prosper..hey

It shocks me. Plato is so important today. In America free thought is under attack by extreme left politics. This should be shown in ever school in America.
