# Crito: Een dialoog van Plato

By Plato.

"Crito: Een dialoog van Plato" by Plato is a dialogue written around 399 BC. It depicts a conversation between Socrates and his wealthy friend Crito in a prison cell, where Socrates awaits execution. Crito offers to finance Socrates' escape, but Socrates refuses, arguing that injustice cannot be answered with injustice. Through personifying the Laws of Athens, the dialogue explores fundamental questions of justice and civic duty, presenting an ancient statement of social contract theory.
