Document Summary
Crito on if the four early dialoguws (ronically the late dialogues b/c written in the last part of socrates" life) Footnote tells us that the actual title is probably what is to be done but somewhere along the line, a translator has taken the name of a main character and named it after him. Dialogue has come down to us as crito in greek it means to make judgement. The name is related to the probably title (action related to judgement) We do not know how our actions will turn out therefore action has to do with judgment. Judgment is rooted in experience if it"s not rooted in experience, we are acting fool-heartedly (b/c we think we know the end of our actions but if we are thinking we"d know that we don"t know) If we compare it to the euthyphro (happingstance meeting b/w youngman and socrates) and the apology (highest court)
