Moses Mendelssohn (1729-86) is considered the father of the Jewish
Enlightenment and the last great Leibnizian in the German
philosophical tradition. One of his most successful works was this
dialogue on the immortality of the soul, modelled on Plato's
"Phaedo". Mendelssohn sought to recast Plato's proofs of the soul's
immortality by adding "such arguments as are supplied by modern
philosophy". Like its ancient ancestor, Mendelssohn's dialogue
includes an account of the death of Socrates - an important figure
in 18th-century Europe. ""Ph don": or, "The Death of Socrates"",
originally published in German in 1767 and translated by Charles
Cullen in 1789, has never been rendered into modern English.
Cullen's translation is thus the only recourse for present-day
scholars who cannot read German. It is long out of print and
difficult to find, even in the largest academic libraries. Now that
the Englishspeaking philosophical world is delving ever more deeply
into the history of German philosophy, this facsimile of the 1789
edition - newly introduced by Curtis Bowman - should be widely
welcomed.
