Phaedo

Phaedo is a Platonic dialogue that recounts Socrates' final hours and presents several arguments for the immortality of the soul, including the theory of Forms, the cyclical argument, the affinity argument, and recollection. It is a foundational work in Western philosophy, shaping debates about metaphysics, the nature of the soul, and the practice of philosophical inquiry.
