Who Was Socrates? - Fourth Assignment

     * * * * *

     [Preface: I'm assigning Alban D. Winspear with Tom Silverberg,
Who Was Socrates?, despite the fact that it was published first
     in 1940, because it is the best short introduction to
philosophy -- not just to Greek philosophy -- and its social origins,
that I have ever found; and because I have permission from Prof.
Winspear's widow and from Dr. Silverberg (a retired physician in New
York City when I last spoke to him over a decade ago) to reproduce
this book for use in my classes. I used to use photocopies, which cost
$3 apiece; thanks to the Worldwide Web, you can now get it for the
cost of printing it out. - GF]

     The final section of Part III of Who Was Socrates?, from
page 69 to the end, consists in large part of a critical study of
Plato's Apology, a document which we have also studied
carefully.

     Please read, very carefully, Part III of Who Was
Socrates?, from page 69, where you left off for the last
assignment, to the end of the chapter. 

     I would like you to compare Winspear's critical analysis of
Plato's Apology with that by I.F. Stone.

     Here is the Table of
Contents to Winspear and Silverberg's book.

     Here is the link
     to I.F. Stone's article.

     In your 300 word comparison, note at least THREE important
similarities and the same number of important differences between the
two analyses.
