Plato's Phaedo Explained Simply

Plato's Phaedo is a philosophy book about the immortality of the soul. Is there an afterlife? Is the soul immortal? These are the questions addressed by the Greek philosopher Socrates as he awaits his execution in one of Plato's most famous dialogues. Some sources I consulted while writing the script for this video: 📖 Steven R. Cain, "Philosophy is a Preparation for Death: Why We Study the Phaedo." https://www.thomasaquinas.edu/a-liber... 📖 Matthew Elton, “The Role of the Affinity Argument in the Phaedo,” Phronesis, 12.3 (1997). 📖 M. Ross Romero, Without the Least Tremor: The Sacrifice of Socrates in Plato's Phaedo, SUNY Press, 2016. 📖 Anne-Marie Shulz, Plato's Socrates on Socrates: Socratic Self-Disclosure and the Public Practice of Philosophy, Bloomsbury, 2020. 📖 "Plato: Phaedo," Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy https://iep.utm.edu/phaedo/#SSH3biii
