Socrates

…

…notobliged to keep his agreement to Athens nor is he acting in retaliation if he flees, he is notmaking an irrational decision if he decides to go into exile. Therefore he cannot fear retribution in the afterlife for this choice. Since I have shown that Socrateshas notentered into a just agreement with Athens, his three main arguments are defeated. Socratescan now make a rational choice to go into exile because it will not harmthe state.
