The analysis of a few pivotal moments in Plato’s Apology of Socrates provides the occasion for a reflection on the task and danger of the philosophical endeavor—indeed, of the philosophical life. The consideration of the praxis of philosophy in its uncertain position (or even non-position) vis-à-vis the law illuminates the intertwined issues of vulnerability, foreignness, estrangement, and gender, casting them in the context of a comprehensive concern with justice

Abstract

The analysis of a few pivotal moments in Plato’s Apology of Socrates provides the occasion for a reflection on the task and danger of the philosophical endeavor—indeed, of the philosophical life. The consideration of the praxis of philosophy in its uncertain position (or even non-position) vis-à-vis the law illuminates the intertwined issues of vulnerability, foreignness, estrangement, and gender, casting them in the context of a comprehensive concern with justice
