   What is Plato's final argument for the immortality of the soul?

The final argument (FA) can be summarised as follows: The thing that makes the body alive when present is the soul, so the soul brings life to whatever it occupies. Thus, life is an essential characteristic of the soul.

   Does Plato believe that there is a soul?

   • Remember, as I said, in introducing the Phaedo, Plato doesn’t so much argue for the existence of something separate, the soul, as presuppose it. His fundamental concern is to try to argue for the immortality of the soul. So he’s just helping himself to the assumption that there is a soul.

   What does Plato say about life?

   • Trading Plato’s familiar use of opposites, life, or perhaps birth, would be the joining of the soul to the body. If this were so, then it would seem that “life” could only be possessed by the conjunction of body and soul. This in turn suggests that “life” could not be realised by the soul alone.

   Is Plato's argument valid?

   • If valid, Plato’s argument offers coherent models of the relationships between body and soul (or mind) and the nature of the soul itself. This last issue has intrigued many philosophers, from Plato’s ancient contemporaries to leading thinkers of the modern age.

   • The Dialogues of Socrates
   • Pleasure as A Conditional Good
   • Affinity

   THE dialogue called after Phaedo is interesting in several respects. It purports to describe the last moments in the life of Socrates: his conversation immediately before drinking the hemlock, and after, until he loses consciousness. This presents Plato's ideal of a man who is both wise and good in the highest degree, and who is totally without fea...

   Philosophers, Socrates continues, try to dissever the soul from communion with the body, whereas other people think that life is not worth living for a man who has "no sense of pleasure and no part in bodily pleasure." In this phrase, Plato seems-perhaps inadvertently--to countenance the view of a certain class of moralists, that bodily pleasures a...

   Socrates offers an argument for the soul’s immortality, dubbed the ‘Affinity Argument’ . Socrates argues that since the soul shares its essential properties with the invisible and the divine, it necessarily shares the further property of immortality. This argument takes the formal features of Forms (those properties a Form has by virtue of being a ...

   It has been noted that Plato does not repeat any of his arguments (with the exception of the Phaedrus argument about the soul as "selfmoved"). This, I think, shows that they are "popular" arguments. Plato passionately believed in immortality, and he was always "finding" proofs; and, as Emerson says, " The impulse to seek proof of immortality is ...
