The Kantian concept of the person, rationality and Socrates' death

In this paper, I consider Socrates' death sentence in The Apology and his choice to accept his death sentence in The Crito. I structure his choice in a Kantian manner. First, I argue that Socrates has a duty to himself, as a rational agent, to (a) act as a promisekeeping individual and (b) perform the means indispensable to ends he sets for himself, that is, to his own just agreements. Socrates' prior choices commit Socrates to death. I then argue that Socrates has a duty not to flee his unjust verdict on the grounds that doing so would be self-contradictory if enacted by all rational agents at once. It would not accord with the categorical imperative.
