  • S. 28: „The theme of death has been treated in every known literary form and from every possible aspect by poets, dramatists, novelists, scholars, historians, and masters of the religious life. Father Guardini gives us her a philosopher´s view of death, not in the abstract but in a concrete historical setting. The philosopher is actually dying to life and living through death. The author brings out in a clear , concise , and profound way how the death of Socrates is actually a fulfillment of the depths of his philosophical quest . By death the master of Plato will pass through the last barrier to the heights of the noetic union with the absolutes and the ideas and through them to the Absolute of absolutes, the Good Itself, in itself. By means of a skillful synthesis of significant passages from the four Platonic Dialogues Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo - we relive the accusation, trial, and triumph of Socrates. In the first, he stands out in bold contrast with Euthyphro, the symbol of an irrational adherence to customary, anthropomorphic, outmoded, and unscientific religious myth. In the second, we see the polar difference between Socrates and the representatives of a life centered on power, wealth, and success to the detriment of virtue. In the Crito, the social responsibility of Socrates' way of life stands out in opposition to political opportunism. In the Phaedo, the driving , dynamic basis of his life becomes apparent when he explains his intelligent insight into the immortal nature of his soul and the meaning of life. Father Guardini has accomplished his purpose well; he has given a philosophical interpretation of the contents of these Dialogues within the framework of the death of a philosopher and has thereby brought that content closer to the truth itself, howsoever it is dramatized in them.“
