What defense does Socrates offer against the charges of impiety and corruption of Athens's youth?
Socrates had two kinds of charges against him.
1) The Informal charges: He lead youth to investigate the physical world, so that they would not believe in the gods. He was accused of intentionally using bad arguments to do this. He was also accused of taking money for teaching others how to use this bad reasoning.
2) The Formal Charges: He was charged with corrupting the minds of the youth, and introducing them to new gods.
Socrates defense to these charges were:
1) Socrates claimed that he had no interest in physical speculation, so he could not lead the youth to investigate the physical world.
2) He also claimed that he never accepted money from any one, and the young followed of their own will.

Socrates' address refers to his speech during his trial in 399 BC in which he defended himself against charges of impiety and corrupting the youth of Athens. He famously declared that he was guided by a divine inner voice, known as his "daimon," which influenced his actions. Ultimately, despite his defense, Socrates was found guilty and sentenced to death by drinking poison.
Socrates believed in a personal daimon, or inner divine sign, guiding him in life. He claimed to act on the god's will rather than the traditional beliefs of the Greeks. This belief and his commitment to intellectual pursuit, rather than blind obedience to religious authority, led to his defense against the charges of impiety.
