Phaedo
•Socrates’
4 arguments for immortality of the soul
•The
Argument from Form of Life explains that the Forms,
incorporeal and static entities, are the cause of all
things in the world, and all things participate in Forms.
For example, beautiful things participate in the Form
of Beauty; the number four participates in the Form of the Even,
etc. The soul, by its very nature, participates in the Form of
Life, which would mean the soul could never die.
