The volume covers all major issues related to the interpretation of Plato’s Phaedo and the reception of this central dialogue throughout Antiquity. Six main chapters examine different aspects concerning the dialogue, starting with its structure, moving on to topics of Myth, Emotion and Virtues. Special focus is laid on the Phaedois core issue: The soul and the images of afterlife and immortality. Chapter five the moves on to the manifestation of specific argumental structures.
