Phaedo

Plato is undoubtedly one of the most important and influential philosophers in the history of thought. He contributed to the institutionalization of philosophy and the formation of the written tradition in philosophy, and was the initiator of the idealist philosophy tradition that would determine the entire medieval thought with its two-world metaphysics. Plato, who is also important in terms of his influence on Christian medieval philosophy and Islamic thought, addressed all the problems discussed throughout the history of thought hundreds of years ago and built the first major philosophical system.

Phaedo is one of Plato's most popular and important dialogues; Above all, it is considered one of the most outstanding works of Greek literature.

While the work poetically expresses the inner peace and contentment of a person who has lived well and fulfilled his mission properly, which Socrates exhibited in the hours before drinking the hemlock poison; It presents his arguments on the immortality of the soul with a confident attitude, in an excellent fiction and unique style unique to Plato. Many interpreters of Plato argue that the Phaedo is the dialogue that comes closest to tragedy of all Platonic works.
