This text presents Plato's dialogue, "Crito," focusing on Socrates' refusal to escape prison despite his friend Crito's pleas and plans. The introduction clarifies that the work portrays Socrates not as a philosopher, but as a good citizen obedient to the laws even when unjustly condemned. The core of the dialogue features Socrates debating with Crito, emphasizing the importance of living a just life and adhering to agreements with the state over popular opinion, personal reputation, or even the welfare of his children. He uses a powerful personification of the Laws of Athens to argue that escaping would violate the fundamental principles of justice and his implicit contract as a citizen.
