Excerpt from Platonis Phaedo: The Phaedo of Plato; Edited With Introduction and Notes

The subject of the Phaedo, thus analysed, may be said briefly to be the unfolding of the victory of the philosophic mind over the fear of Death. This end is sought to be attained in two ways, by the exposition of the Ideal in Thought united with the Real in Life - intellectually, by the reasonings advanced in support of confidence in a Future Life, and also practically and historically, by the narration of the manner in which Socrates, under the influence of those reasonings, entered the night of Death. Thus the composed demeanour of the great Actor becomes the appro priate complement of the dialectic discussions of the great Thinker.
