About this audiobook
Phaedo by Plato is a prolific work of philosophy that examines the relationship between the soul and immortality. The Socratic dialogue draws from the teachings of Socrates on his final day, when he was awaiting his execution, and examines the notion of an afterlife for the souls of those who have passed away. Read in English, unabridged.

Plato
Plato (aprox. 424-327 BC), a student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, is commonly regarded as the centermost figure of Western philosophy. During the Classical period of Ancient Greece he was based in Athens where he founded his Academy and created the Platonist school of thought. His works are among the most influential in Western history, commanding interest and challenging readers of every era and background since they were composed.
