Phaedo

Book • 400

Benjamin Jowett

In this dialogue, Plato presents his metaphysical, psychological, and epistemological views through the conversations of Socrates and his friends on the day of his execution.

The dialogue includes four arguments for the immortality of the soul, discussions on the theory of Forms, and Socrates' account of his final hours.

It is a key work in Plato's middle period, combining profound philosophy with a vivid narrative of Socrates' last day.
