Which of the following works of Plato do not have Socrates as the main speaker ?
(i) Apology
(ii) Phaedo
(iii) The Statesman
(iv) The Laws
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
In Plato's late political dialogues, The Statesman and The Laws, Plato moves away from the Socratic framework (the Eleatic Stranger leads the discussion in The Statesman, and Socrates does not appear at all in The Laws), whereas Apology and Phaedo are directly centred on Socrates. Hence only (iii) and (iv) are correct.
