We dive into his latest book on Plato’s Phaedo, exploring Socrates’ radical views on the immortality of the soul, the nature of the forms, and the role of philosophy as preparation for death. David sheds light on the literary structure of the dialogue, its connections to Greek tragedy, and Plato’s unique philosophical approach to ethics, metaphysics, and the natural world.
