The Phaedo - A Platonic Labyrinth and On Plato's Euthyphro: New Edition

Více o knize

The dialogue explores foundational concepts of Platonism, particularly the theory of ideas and the immortality of the soul, through a structured argument that highlights the dangers of misology, or distrust in reason. This leads to a transformative understanding of knowledge, the soul, and death, suggesting that the Phaedo critiques rather than upholds traditional Platonism. The revised edition features a new preface and includes an insightful essay on Plato's Euthyphro, enhancing the depth of the analysis and interpretation of these philosophical themes.
