Synopsis

Plato's 'Phaedo' is a philosophical dialogue set on the day of the execution of Socrates. The author, one of Socrates' students, depicts his teacher's final hours and the arguments about the immortality of the soul. It is widely believed that this text is more a representation of Plato's own beliefs than those of Socrates. This book has been at the heart of Western thought for centuries and stands as one of the earliest works of European literature. Socrates discusses the meaning of death, the nature of the soul, and the possibility of life after death. 'Phaedo' is a moving and thought-provoking work that explores profound questions about life and death and is a significant text in the history of philosophy and Western literature.
