Let's be honest, there is not that much to be gained from reading the Socratic dialogues nowadays. Especially not in this translation with its hopelessly antiquated language. The edition itself is also not that amazing since it has no commentary and the way the print fills the entire page makes you feel like you're wading through a swamp of tar, barely making any progress. But there is one thing I understand now. I now know why they sentenced Socrates to death: The man was insufferable. Good riddance!
