Print on Demand. This book presents a fresh perspective on Socrates, based on a careful examination of Plato's Phaedo, a work that provides a vivid account of the philosopher's final hours. The author argues that Plato's portrayal of Socrates reveals a philosopher more deeply engaged with the scientific and philosophical movements of his time than previously thought, particularly with Pythagorean and Eleatic ideas. The book delves into the philosophical and religious teachings attributed to Socrates in the Phaedo, shedding light on his views on the immortality of the soul and the pursuit of knowledge. It challenges the traditional view of Socrates as a purely ethical thinker, presenting him instead as a philosopher with a profound interest in the nature of reality and the human condition. Through a rigorous analysis of the Phaedo, this book offers a nuanced understanding of Socrates' philosophical legacy, highlighting the depth and complexity of his thought and its enduring relevance to our understanding of human existence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from Plato's Phaedo: Edited With Introduction and Notes

The text of this edition is that prepared by me for the Scrz'pz'orum Classz'corzmz Bz'blz'of/zeca 0x07zz'e7zsz's with a few corrections and modifications. Such as it is, it is the only text based on the three archetypal mss, the Clarkz'mzzzs (b), the flinrcz'mms (t), and the Vindo bonmsz's (w). The readings of T are taken from a photograph in my possession, those of W from the collation of Professor Kral of Prague.
