Socrates is known as the founder of philosophy. So why was he put to death? What was his defense? In this course we take a close look at Socrates' defense and his reason for finally accepting his punishment. We will then discuss a range of ethical theories with reference to the death penalty. Our central question will be: is the death penalty a just punishment?
