À propos de cet audio

In the final episode of our trilogy on the fall and recovery of Athenian democracy, we examine the trial and death of Socrates — not just as a tragic mistake, but as a revealing response to influence, fear, and dissent.After civil war and tyranny, Athens restored democracy through amnesty. But one figure remained unresolved: the philosopher whose students helped destroy the city.Socrates never held power. But he shaped those who did.Critias. Charmides. Alcibiades.And in 399 BCE, Athens put him on trial — not for violence, but for ideas.📌 Timestamps00:00 – Recap: From Tyranny to Amnesty — and the Question Left Behind00:58 – Whose Story Is This?
