Accusations Apology

In regards to the Socrates accusation, there is a truth behind the argument that I who knows nothing is the wisest compared to the one who claims to be the owners of wisdom. According to the Athenians god is the wisest, but on the other side I am called wise and have an evil fame. The rumors all over the community that I am different from other men has led to my accusation in the court of law. The three accusations came from three accusers who were Anytus, Meletus and Lycon. Anytus has an allegation on behalf of the politicians and artisans while on the other hand, Meletus had a charged argument against me on behalf of the poets. The last accuser who is Lycon talked about my judgement regarding the rhetoricians.

To begin with is the illustration of my argument regarding poets. Many poets have the passion and are a genius in composing readers attracting poems. Furthermore, they are motivated by the inspirations from the surroundings and other things that provoke their thoughts. The fact is they are not wise but much depends on the external stimulants. Therefore, it is not by wisdom by these authors’ writes poems but through their uniqueness (Pavlich, 2016). They can be compared to diviners who alters wonderful and soothing words, but in a real sense, they do not understand the meaning of the genres they are writing about. It is true that they are lovers of wisdom, but they cannot claim to own it.

The second arguments regard politician and artisans by Anytus accusation. Politicians play a game of winning the minds of people for their benefits after they get in the political positions. They do not have the wisdom but use propaganda and other enticing words they learn from other people. I take an interview where I challenged several of them, and in reality, they are after money, and many of them do not mean what is in their political manifestos during the campaigns. The artisans on the other side have played a significant role in exploring the field and ensuring that they have covered and achieved in the sector. However, they are better off as they know more about art and can explain issues regarding music but the same artisans cannot explain the meaning of the words they compose. They refer themselves as wise men in the society, but when it comes to the reality, they do not possess even a bit of the intelligence.

The other accusation by Lycon involving rhetoricians has an evident behind the saying that is not wise. Instead, they tend to twist language in a manner that it is attracting and ear-catching so that they can easily incite and provoke the students’ minds. I have researched the philosophers who are given a high rank in the community because of their studies and composition of many useful articles and books (Struever, 2015). They have the passion and are talented in their work, but I cannot refer them to possess wisdom as at a time they do not explain what they write or talk about.

The virtue and wisdom do not come from money, and one cannot buy it, but it is through virtue that good people and capital gotten from. I will not stop at any instance stop telling the people of Athens the truth about wisdom as it plays an essential role in today’s life and the life of coming generation. Regardless of the stand of accusation, I will remain intense fighting for the right ways.
