Phaedo
The "Phaedo" is a dialogue written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It recounts the final hours of Socrates before his execution. In this work, Socrates discusses the immortality of the soul and the nature of the afterlife, presenting arguments to support his belief that the soul continues to exist after death.
The dialogue takes place in a prison cell, where Socrates is visited by his friends, including Cebes and Simmias. Through philosophical discussions, Socrates encourages his companions to embrace the idea of the soul's immortality, emphasizing the importance of living a virtuous life in preparation for what lies beyond death.
