Topic > rational injustice. Socrates believed strongly in the afterlife; therefore he was not terrified of dying, while Crito was frightened by the idea. Socrates said that a man of his age should not be afraid of dying, but Crito disagreed, he said that many men are troubled by the idea of ​​dying and would take the opportunity to escape if they were in his place. Socrates was not worried about... half the paper... me, but against him. In conclusion, I believe it is blasphemous that Socrates is accused of corrupting the minds of Athenian children. He shouldn't have received the death penalty, but I understand it was a preference. I think Socrates let his opinions get in the way of clear judgment when Crito tried to help him escape. However, I understand why Socrates didn't want to run away. Socrates made valid points by declaring that he did not believe in revenge, in disbelief in public opinion, and in the personification of the Athenian government as a father figure; as well as not wanting to be exiled from his homeland. Even though these moral values ​​had been instilled in his mind, he still might have chosen exile instead of saving his life to continue educating people. Therefore, even though Socrates is not physically alive, his philosophy continues.
