Filosofia em “Tempos Sombrios”: a leitura de Critão sobre Sócrates na Pólis diante das leis e da opinião da maioria – um olhar arendtiano

Abstract

The issues put to Socrates consist in “guiding” by the advice of others to save his life; not to deprive himself of friends, and much less to transmit unhappiness to those who have money to help each other when necessary: after all, what is the value of money when friendship is put to isk? Socrates does not guide himself through the heads of others, he examines his own questions (posed by him or others) as a challenger, or a inductor of reflections and thoughts. This happens because his answers seem to be a deviation of route, beginning a dialogue based on the majority opinion, what for Criteo, it is fundamental, for Socrates it is not, so we should notbe worried with the majority opinion, however, with the best considerations.
