Hi, I'm not sure this is the right place to put this but I'm looking into some philosophy and I was just wondering if anyone could help me out with what exactly it is that Plato thinks about death? Am I right in thinking he's a dualist? I can find some stuff about life after death but nothing that is helping me understand his position on death too clearly. Any ideas?
You could read this carefully...
Apology - Plato
Thankyou I will have a look and see what I can make of it
There is nothing more noble than the death of Socrates. I was stunned for a long time after reading the four dialogues:
Euthyphro, The Apology, Crito and Phaedo
how the Athenians could condemn such a wise man, the "wisest" on Earth as the Delphi Oracle said.

You are not being very wise, judging the old Athenians with today's criteria...
I think it is the same thing with Jesus. Would it be unwise to ask myself how could the Jews condemn such a "good" man like Jesus?
Certainly there are common criteria for "judging" people, no matter in which period.
hint---never ask Dyslexia what he thinks of Plato. (he just might tell you)

It certainly would, and I'd be surprised if something would not stay out of religion...
Francis, what do you mean by "if something would not stay out of religion"? I am sorry but my English is not very good.
Looks like one cannot talk about anything without people linking it to religion...
I did not mention religion at all. I referred to Jesus as a good "man".
