"Phaedo is one of Plato's most important works, exploring the
nature of life, death, and the soul. Socrates has been sentenced to
death for corrupting the youth of Athens. In the hours before he is
forced to drink hemlock, he talks with his followers and friends,
arguing in favor of in the immortality of the soul, and concluding
that death holds no fear for the true philosopher. In the process,
he lays the metaphysical foundations for Platonic thought. While
being primarily a philosophical treatise, Phaedo is also a moving
account of the untimely death of a beloved teacher. It is this dual
character which makes it highly regarded as a work of literature.
