Two Concepts of the Soul in Plato's Phaedo is a fresh study of
Plato's psychology with particular focus on his arguments for the
immortality of the soul. Through detailed textual study, this new
work examines the structure of the dialogue making explicit the
nature of the argumentation within the text and its relation to
Plato's other accounts of immortality. The author argues that the
view of the soul in the Phaedo can be usefully separated into two
concepts, which he terms the basic and total concepts. The basic
concept consists of the features of the soul that are not used by
the character Socrates as the foundation for arguments showing
either the pre-existence or post-existence of the soul. In addition
to the features contained in the basic concept, the total concept
includes the features used as the basis of arguments intending to
prove either the pre-existence of the soul, as well as the features
of pre-existence and post-existence themselves. This book will
prove useful to upper-level undergraduate or graduate students of
ancient philosophy, philosophy of the mind, classics, and ancient
history.
