A Prova pela Morte: Um Estudo Sobre o Fédon de Platão
Keywords:
death, soul, body, mythAbstract
Socrates’s death, as narrated in the Phaedo, must be interpreted as a testimony of a thinker who has decided to offer his own life as a proof of a personal certainty, namely that philosophy is a preparation for death. Such a certainty does not agree with common sense, since it is based on a system of values which does not give priority to physical life and does not define the human being by his body alone, thereby transforming him into a being-for-death. The present article seeks to interpret this dramatic event, trying to sustain its arguments beyond the recognized limits.
