Phaedo is a philosophical dialogue written by Plato, which takes place on the day of Socrates' execution. The dialogue centers around the discussion of the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the immortality of the soul. Socrates argues that the soul is immortal and that it exists before and after death. He also argues that the philosopher should not fear death, as it is only the separation of the soul from the body. The dialogue also includes a discussion of the theory of forms, which suggests that there is a perfect and eternal reality beyond the physical world. Overall, Phaedo is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of existence, death, and the afterlife, and is considered one of Plato's most important works.I should so like to hear about his death. What did he say in his last hours? We were informed that he died by taking poison, but no one knew anything more; for no Phliasian ever goes to Athens now, and it is a long time since any stranger from Athens has found his way hither; so that we had no clear account.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
