Abstract:

The paper is an analysis of Plato's "proof" of the immortality of the soul in Phaedrus 245c-246a. It points out that the "proof" consists of two arguments: one intended to show that, as long as it exists, the soul does not cease to be alive, and one meant to demonstrate that the soul never ceases to exist.
