Do you think socrates was an atheist
English essay
[a] Do you think Socrates was an atheist, as he was charged in court? Why or why
not? What is wrong with atheism anyway?
[b] Socrates gives several arguments about death not being something that he fears.
One argument is from nothingness at death and the other is from the afterlife. How
can the two opposites about what follows death both be reasons not to fear it?
[c] What are your thoughts on Socrates’ dying for his own beliefs in a city that
wouldn’t tolerate them?
