This book offers an original interpretation and close reading of
Plato's Phaedo, focusing on the relation between logos and the soul
in order to illuminate the ethical and political dimensions of
philosophy as "care of the soul." Jesse I. Bailey argues that the
central issue of the dialogue is the relation between logos and the
defining activity of the soul. The soul, in accord with logos,
gathers the multiplicity of phenomena into the intelligible wholes
of experience. This definitive activity also applies to the soul
itself, as the soul gathers itself to itself in logos. Ethical
living demands the development of a harmonious unity in the self
through this activity. Thus, the book argues that the traditional
"pillars" of Platonism-the immortality of the soul and the
Forms-are presented not as fully-developed theories to be accepted
by the reader whole cloth, but rather as provocations for thought.
