Platoons Phaidoon : Uit het Grieksch overgebracht by Plato
"Platoons Phaidoon: Uit het Grieksch overgebracht" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue written in 399 BCE. In his final hours before execution, Socrates debates the immortality of the soul with Pythagorean philosophers Simmias and Cebes. As death approaches, he presents arguments for an afterlife where souls dwell eternally. The dialogue blends philosophical reasoning with mythology, culminating in a vivid description of the underworld and Socrates' peaceful acceptance of his fate. (This is
