耶鲁大学哲学公开课《死亡》07 柏拉图2 灵魂存在与否的论证
尽管《斐多篇》是斐多与朋友的对话,并且是斐多讨论苏格拉底的话,但那是柏拉图写下的著作,所以,实际上可以默认那是柏拉图的观点。另外有人认为斐多篇实际上分前、中、后几个时期写的,可能还反映了柏拉图不同时期的思想转变。
主题:Plato, Part II: Arguments for the immortality of the soul
The discussion of Plato's Phaedo continues, presenting more arguments for the existence and immortality of the soul. One such argument is "the argument from the nature of the forms," which states that because the forms are non-physical objects and cannot be grasped by something physical like the body, it follows that they must be grasped by the soul which must be non-physical as well. This argument is followed by the "argument from recycling" and "the argument from recollection."
