The Phaedo: a Platonic labyrinth

South Bend, Ind.: St. Augustine's Press (1984)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Since antiquity the Phaedo has been considered the source of "the twin pillars of Platonism" -- the theory of ideas and the immortality of the soul. Burger's attempt to trace the underlying argument of the work as a whole leads to a radical rethinking of the status of those doctrines
