How did Socrates justify his belief (through his self-sacrifice) that it is noble act to to be loyal to the state which will promote social unity and will prevent blind subservience to the state?.

I am pointing out to what type of government did he believe in as compared to Plato and Aistotle. What was the influence of their social standing(the three Philosophers) in their choice of such governments.
Further, what sacrifice did Socrates offer to prove his loyalty, belief and ideal to a fair and just government?

Socrates evidently objected to the democracy that ran Athens. He basically was against any government that was not his ideal of a government. It is thought that he believed, "ideals belong in a world that only the wise man can understand".

I majored in Philosophy in college. particular, by skill of all skill, I even have heard of them. Alexander the super replaced into Aristotle's student. He actual offered Aristotle an elephant as a latest as quickly as. Plato is in simple terms dazzling. each and all the above philosophers are dazzling. Too undesirable we haven't any of Socrates' actually writings.
