The Trial and Death of Socrates

This YouTube video series by the very living, very breathing philosopher Stefan Molyneux is about some long-dead arguments by a long-dead man whose ghost haunts us to this day. I recommend watching the whole set if you can. Videos 2, 3, and 4 are a dramatic presentation of Plato's Apology, with some limited interpretation. The rest contain some wonderful extrapolation of what it all means, and how dangerous the vengance of philosophers has been to humanity for thousands of years.

These are totally wonderful in so many ways. I want to share them with everybody who has even a passing interest in philosophy, history, literature, or psychology. Code for the YouTube embeddings lazily and lovingly stolen from the Lost Liberty Cafe, a wonderful resource on human freedom.
