Complete Title: Plato's Phaedo 1875 [Hardcover]. Author: Plato, E. M. Cope(Tr.)

2016 Reprint of the 1951 edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "Phaedo", also known to ancient readers as "On The Soul," is one of the best-known dialogues of Plato's middle period, along with the Republic and the Symposium. It depicts the death of Socrates and is also Plato's fourth and last dialogue to detail the philosopher's final days. In the dialogue Socrates discusses the nature of the afterlife on his last day before being executed. Socrates has been imprisoned and sentenced to death by an Athenian jury for not believing in the gods of the state and for corrupting the youth of the city. The dialogue is told from the perspective of one of Socrates' students, Phaedo of Elis. Having been present at Socrates' death bed, Phaedo relates the dialogue from that day to Echecrates, a Pythagorean philosopher. By engaging in dialectic with a group of Socrates' friends, including the Thebans Cebes and Simmias, Socrates explores various arguments for the soul's immortality in order to show that there is an afterlife in which the soul will dwell following death.

The Phaedo is acknowledged to be one of Plato’s masterpieces, showing him both as a philosopher and as a dramatist at the height of his powers. For its moving account of the execution of Socrates, the Phaedo ranks among the supreme literary achievements of antiquity. It is also a document crucial to the understanding of many ideas deeply ingrained in western culture, and provides one of the best introductions to Plato’s thought.

After an interval of some months or years, and at Phlius, a town of Peloponnesus, the tale of the last hours of Socrates is narrated to Echecrates and other Phliasians by Phaedo the 'beloved disciple.' The Dialogue necessarily takes the form of a narrative, because Socrates has to be described acting as well as speaking. The minutest particulars of the event are interesting to distant friends, and the narrator has an equal interest in them. (Translated by Benjamin Jowett)

It is also a document crucial to the understanding of many ideas deeply ingrained in western culture, and provides one of the best introductions to Plato's thought. This new edition is eminently suitable for readers new to Plato, offering a readable translation which is accessible without the aid of a commentary and assumes no prior knowledge of the ancient Greek world or language.

Plato Greek: Pláton, pronounced in Classical Attic; 428/427 or 424/423– 348/347 BC) was a philosopher in Classical Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. He is widely considered the most pivotal figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition.Unlike nearly all of his philosophical contemporaries, Plato's entire work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years. Along with his teacher, Socrates, and his most famous student, Aristotle, Plato laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Alfred North Whitehead once noted: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato." In addition to being a foundational figure for Western science, philosophy, and mathematics, Plato has also often been cited as one of the founders of Western religion and spirituality.

A classic work of ancient Greek literature from one of the most famous of all ancient Greek philosophers, the "Phaedo" is the story of the last moments of Socrates life as recounted by Phaedo a first-hand witness to Socrates final hours. In those last moments Socrates explains that his suicide does not matter because his soul is immortal and he proceeds to give four reasons why this is so. No two greater figures than Plato and Socrates exist in the world of ancient Greek philosophy. Here they are brought together, one as the subject and the other as the author. Presented here is the classic introduction and translation of Benjamin Jowett.

After an interval of some months or years, and at Phlius, a town of Peloponnesus, the taleof the last hours of Socrates is narrated to Echecrates and other Phliasians by Phaedo the'beloved disciple.' The Dialogue necessarily takes the form of a narrative, because Socrateshas to be described acting as well as speaking. The minutest particulars of the event areinteresting to distant friends, and the narrator has an equal interest in them.During the voyage of the sacred ship to and from Delos, which has occupied thirty days,the execution of Socrates has been deferred. (Compare Xen. Mem.) The time has beenpassed by him in conversation with a select company of disciples. But now the holy seasonis over, and the disciples meet earlier than usual in order that they may converse withSocrates for the last time. Those who were present, and those who might have beenexpected to be present, are mentioned by name. There are Simmias and Cebes (Crito), twodisciples of Philolaus whom Socrates 'by his enchantments has attracted from Thebes'(Mem.), Crito the aged friend, the attendant of the prison, who is as good as a friend—thesetake part in the conversation. There are present also, Hermogenes, from whom Xenophonderived his information about the trial of Socrates (Mem.), the 'madman' Apollodorus(Symp.), Euclid and Terpsion from Megara (compare Theaet.), Ctesippus, Antisthenes,Menexenus, and some other less-known members of the Socratic circle, all of whom aresilent auditors. Aristippus, Cleombrotus, and Plato are noted as absent. Almost as soon asthe friends of Socrates enter the prison Xanthippe and her children are sent home in thecare of one of Crito's servants. Socrates himself has just been released from chains, and isled by this circumstance to make the natural remark that 'pleasure follows pain.' (Observethat Plato is preparing the way for his doctrine of the alternation of opposites.) 'Aesopwould have represented them in a fable as a two-headed creature of the gods.'
