Plato's Crito questions:
4. Describe the society and culture in which Socrates lives. How is the community governed? What do they value?
5. Why does Socrates refuse to leave Athens, despite Crito's plea? Are Socrates's reasons legitimate and/or persuasive? What would it mean for Socrates to leave Athens for Thessaly? Does his refusal to leave Athens sound reasonable even if it means his death? Isn't the avoidance of death primary?
6. Based on what Socrates says about his refusal to leave Athens and the nature of the "State", what does this suggest about the power of culture and society to shape one's values?
7. What is the crime that Socrates has committed against the state? Why is this crime not elaborated upon within the text of Crito?
