Describe how Socrates greeted the news of his condemnation

How did his philosophy prepare him for this eventuality?


Because Socrates refused to demonstrate either remorse or respect for the power of the court, he was given the death penalty.
- Confronting death, Socrates is unwavering in his certainty that he has lived a life that is just and true, and he is secure in his confidence that no harm can come to one who has lived such a life. For a just and true individual, death cannot be something to be feared.
