On the eve of his execution, Socrates converses with his disciples about death and maintains that the soul survives the body. Plato develops several arguments in favor of immortality and an eschatological myth, and presents philosophy as a preparation for dying.

Aimed at philosophy students and readers interested in classical Greek thought and Socratic dialogues.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher of Classical Athens who is most commonly considered the foundational thinker of the Western philosophical tradition. An innovator of the literary dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato influenced all the major areas of theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the collection of philosophical theories that would later become known as Platonism.
