Plato’s Apology
transcript by V. S. of a lecture on Plato’s Apology of Socrates.

The first thing we need to be clear about is that Plato’s Apology of Socrates does not mean that Socrates was saying he’s sorry. The word apology is being used here in the sense of defense. Thus a better, less misleading title would be the Defense of Socrates or the Defense of Socrates to the Jury.

The entire 'Christian' culture/religion/faith was wrought from ideological "Apologetics".

To apologize is also to rationalize and justify oneself, and the extent/purpose/meaning of a lifetime.

The founding cult for these ideas was/is known as "Gnosticism".
