Abstract

The article "From Death to Life: Key Themes in Plato's Phaedo" by Franco Trabattoni discusses key themes in Plato's Phaedo, focusing on the idea that individual souls must obey reason to live virtuously. Trabattoni's book is a collection of essays originally published in Italian, offering insights into the Phaedo and engaging with main issues in the bibliography. The author analyzes Socrates' assertion on knowledge acquisition posthumously and discusses the contrast between ascetic and political virtue in the Phaedo and the Republic. Trabattoni also explores the hypothesis that Antisthenes is Plato's target in passages alluding to false philosophers in the Phaedo. [Extracted from the article]
