🧺🌿 Philosophy Picnic: Crito
About the event
Join us for a relaxed philosophy picnic in the park! This time we’ll be discussing **Plato’s Crito** using the excellent modern translation by the **Platonic Foundation**. **📖 Do I need to prepare?** Before coming, we’d love it if you could read this short and accessible translation of *Crito*: [Link To Platonic Foundations Easy Read](https://www.platonicfoundation.org/translation/crito) Don’t worry—it’s only **9 pages**, and this modern translation makes Plato surprisingly easy to understand. ⏱️ Short on time? You can ask an AI to summarize or simplify it and be ready in about **10 minutes**. Even if you only read part of it, you’re still very welcome to join! 😊 **☀️ Whats the vibe?** 💬 No philosophy background is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to hear different perspectives. 🌱 We’ll keep things relaxed and conversational. Simple questions often lead to surprisingly deep discussions, and that’s exactly the atmosphere we’re hoping to create. **🤔 Questions we might explore** • Have you ever followed a rule that you thought was unfair? Why? • Is there a difference between doing what is **legal** and doing what is **right**? • Which matters more: your own conscience or what other people think of you? • Socrates argues that we should never do wrong, even if we’ve been wronged. Is that realistic? **🧺 What should I bring?** Bring a blanket, maybe a snack or drink, and come enjoy an afternoon of thoughtful conversation, fresh air, and good company. 🌳☀️ Looking forward to seeing you! 😊
