Plato's Phaedo

By: Plato

Narrated by: Ray Childs

Socrates is in prison, sentenced to die when the sun sets. In this final conversation, he asks what will become of him once he drinks the poison prescribed for his execution. Socrates and his friends examine several arguments designed to prove that the soul is immortal. This quest leads him to the broader topic of the nature of mind and its connection not only to human existence but also to the cosmos itself. What could be a better way to pass the time between now and the sunset?

Reminders of Integrity

Many years had passed since I read Plato’s rendition of these facets of the teachings of Socrates of Athens. These weighty yet uplifting were worth the wait.

Overall great listen

It took a second to catch on to the different voices but after about thirty minutes it was easy to follow along

pleasant conversation

although short but deeply intellectual conversation. what is the name socartes actor?he is really good!

Maybe you should read this, not listen to the audiobook

I might write a more thorough review sometime later on. lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum.

Wonderful

I'm a college student and am doing a paper on Socrates. This was very helpful in speeding up the reading process. The narrator's voice was hard to listen to at first, but I got used to it and ended up loving it near the end. Would recommend to anyone wanting to listen to Plato's works
