The main difference between Crito's and Socrates's arguments is their stance on whether one should escape from prison. Crito argues that Socrates should escape to avoid unjust treatment and to prevent harm to his friends, while Socrates believes it is more important to adhere to the laws of the state and accept his punishment.

When socrates compares critos opinion to his own he is using?
dialectic.
How does critos's propsal go against Socrates teaching that the unexamined life is not worth living?
Crito's proposal goes against Socrates' teaching by suggesting that escaping from prison and avoiding his unjust death sentence is more important than staying true to his beliefs and principles. Socrates believes in living a life of integrity and following one's philosophical convictions, even if it means facing death. This contrasts with Crito's proposal, which prioritizes self-preservation over moral integrity.
