In this video, I examine the mythological conception of philosophy set forth in Plato's Phaedo. In my previous video, I reconstructed Plato's four arguments for the immortality of the soul in the Phaedo. But Plato does not restrict himself to logical argumentation to support a rational faith in the soul's immortality. Rather, he employs both mythos and logos to encourage us to undertake the life of philosophy.
I first set forth the mythological context of the dialogue, showing how Plato informs the reader that myth is a central component of the work. I then explicate the three core myths of the Phaedo: 1) The Myth of Socrates, 2) The Myth of the True Earth, and 3) The Myth of Philosophy Itself.
