内容説明
The book is a discussion of Socrates' conception of philosophy in the "Phaedo" as a astruggle both to understand our relation to what we know through our reason and the senses and to live a life in which spiritual truth will triumph over the self. Socrates argues that it is in such a life that the indestructable soul finds immortality. The former struggle is an intellectual one and the book discusses the philosophical questions Socrates raises. The latter is a spiritual struggle and involves each person as a whole in relation to the life he lives. The book tries to understand how these two struggles are one in Socrates' conception of philosophy, and how Socrates' epistemology, his arguments for the immortality of the soul, and his story of the soul's journey after death relate to one another in the "Phaedo".
