Socrates and Legal Obligation was first published in 1981. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.Charged with "impiety" and sentenced to death under the law of Athens, Socrates did not try to disprove the charges or to escape death, but rather held to a different kind of rhetoric, aiming not at persuasion but at truth. In Socrates and Legal Obligation, R.E. Allen contends that Plato's works on Socrates' acceptance of death—the Apology and the Crito — should be considered together and as such constitute a profound treatment of law and of obligation to law. Allen's study of Socrates' thought on these vital issues is accompanied by his own translations of the Apology and the Crito.

We are at a point where we can deliberately evolve ourselves, as a human species. Humanity, Uploaded examines how we can use technology and science to influence this evolution in the backdrop of changing atmospheric conditions on Earth. The book examines the environmental risks we pose on ourselves and those naturally imposed by the environment. It takes the premise that the best option for human survival is to protect our environment on Earth, however, Humanity, Uploaded explores options for evolving our species as conditions on Earth change for the worse. Humanity, Uploaded proposes a strategy for reshaping our material form, as it explores human consciousness uploading and cyborg development. But, in order for these changes to be possible, we must restructure our social construct and make a few big bets as a society. Humanity, Uploaded dives deep into the social and economic conditions as well as the science and technology needed to evolve humans beyond their current mental and physical limitations. Social and economic concepts explored in this book include: social inequality, public policy, monetary history, socialism, post-capitalism, universal basic income, and venture philanthropy. Science and technology concepts include: space colonization, whole brain emulation, mind uploading, human consciousness transfer, underwater base stations, cyborg development, our cybernetic collective of today and the future, artificial intelligence, and string theory.
