A Witch Trial

Socrates at a witch trial. Still he pursued wisdom for generations to come. Question authority, question everything, think for yourself. Plato’s interpretation of a great philosopher. Socrates at the stake, standing up for what is right. Ethics and epistemology questioned the questions. The ironic method of western philosophical traditions. Moving towards a new era. Athena the goddess of wisdom, standing by his side. Another individualistic soul being condemned for philosophical thought.
