Socrates by Voltaire
In Socrates, Voltaire reimagines the trial and death of the great philosopher as a fierce defense of reason against dogma. With wit and irony, he exposes the hypocrisy of religious and political powers that silence truth. Socrates stands firm, a martyr for free thought, while his accusers reveal their ignorance and fear. This short masterpiece challenges readers to question authority, embrace skepticism, and protect intellectual freedom. A timeless call for enlightenment in an age of darkness.
