Anybody who would find in the ancient Greek philosopher Plato inspiration for UNDEMOCRATIC views today is- unlike the the genius titan of Western philosophy- Plato a reactionary political scoundrel . Born snobs have always deplored THE MOB ! AN INTERESTING REVIEW OF I.F. STONE'S BOOK " THE TRIAL OF SOCRATES " [ "Stone believes that Socrates despised the Athenian democracy. In opposition to the Greek ideal of equal citizens ruling and being ruled in turn, Socrates believed that "virtue is knowledge" and so looked down on the unedu- cated common man. Because he believed that government was a craft like other crafts, he thought that it should be entrusted to those with the relevant technical qualifications: "He and his disciples saw the human community as a herd that had to be ruled by a king or kings, as sheep by a shepherd" (p. 39). Stone believes that Socrates helped to turn his associates against the Athenian democracy. When Athens was shaken by a series of "political earthquakes" in the closing years of the fifth century, the Athenians turned on Socrates as an enemy of democracy. Even then, Stone believes, Socrates brought his death upon him- self. He refused various means of avoiding his fate, including basing his defense upon the Athenian ideal of freedom of speech, which "might easily" (p. 198) have gotten him off. Ac- cordingly, in chapter 16, Stone gives us his own "Apology of Socrates"-what Socrates should have said. As a work of popular history and entertain- ment, The Trial of Socrates is unfailingly ener- getic. It is written in pungent journalistic style and should inspire wide discussion. A large readership should also benefit from the repeat- ed reminder of the gulf that separates Plato's political thought and the ideals of modern lib- eral democracy " ]
