Φαίδων by Plato
"Φαίδων" by Plato is a dialogue written in the 4th century BCE. Set in an Athenian prison during Socrates' final hours, the work explores profound questions about the soul's immortality and the afterlife. Through conversations with Pythagorean philosophers Simmias and Cebes, Socrates presents arguments for the soul's survival beyond death. The dialogue frames these philosophical debates within the poignant context of Socrates awaiting execution, blending rigorous reasoning with mythological narrative as it
contemplates mortality and what lies beyond. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
