"Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius. Do pay it. Don't forget." I know the story as plato recounted it, and I've seen all or part of the quote reffered to many times, most recently here . Still, I feel like I must be missing some sot of meaning, whether intentional or "found" after the fact, that Im' just not getting here.I studied philosophy at one of the country's top schools. What am I so blind to be missing here?
