Where would we be without Donoghue v Stevenson [1932]?

After the Trial of Jesus, the trial and execution of Socrates rank Western law.
I.F. Stone's compelling analysis of this ordeal, The Trial of Socrates examines the case with stunning accuracy,
and takes careful aim at both Socrates the defendant and philosopher; holding Plato to account the ridicule and derision
shown democracy. Citing Hobbes' seventeenth-century observation regarding the privilege of absurdity accorded or claimed
by philosophers, Stone cuts through Socratic homilies and the dialogues to render an exacting verdict.
