Description

Phaedo by Plato is a prolific work of philosophy that examines the relationship between the soul and immortality. The Socratic dialogue draws from the teachings of Socrates on his final day, when he was awaiting his execution, and examines the notion of an afterlife for the souls of those who have passed away.

Author

Plato (c. 427–347 BCE) wrote the dialogues in which Socrates thinks aloud — justice, love, the shape of a good city. Philosophy here is drama. Interactive Media keeps those conversations in circulation.
