Lecture 21: In this lecture we will examine the career of Socrates, the most influential of Greek philosophers. He marks the meeting of two philosophical traditions: the Ionian tradition of speculation and inquiry, and the sophistic tradition of teaching. To understand Socrates it is also important to look at conditions in Athens at the end of the fifth century.

The trial of Socrates, as we shall see, was the culmination of pressures created by Athens' defeat in the Peloponnesian War. The crisis of democracy, fear of oligarchy, and popular suspicion in relation to higher learning all combined to make Socrates into a scapegoat.
