Question: Socrates argues in the Apology that if he were put in the position of having to choose between obeying the authority of the laws and the authority of god, he would be right to choose the authority of god. Yet in the Crito, Socrates claims that we are bound by our just agreements, and that he has made an agreement with the city to obey its laws. Can these two positions be reconciled? How?
