Dialogue

 1 Phaedo|         by recalling the previous argument, in which he had shown that
 2 Phaedo|           and truth is not in the argument, but in ourselves. Socrates,
 3 Phaedo|      interest in the truth of the argument. And therefore he would
 4 Phaedo|      Socrates playfully terms the argument of Simmias, has been happily
 5 Phaedo|        Socrates recapitulates the argument of Cebes, which, as he remarks,
 6 Phaedo|     companions of Socrates, ‘What argument can we ever trust again?’
 7 Phaedo|          figure, the analogy, the argument, are felt to be only approximations
 8 Phaedo| vindictively in another. The true argument from analogy is not, ‘This
 9 Phaedo|         at hearing our favourite ‘argument from analogy’ thus summarily
10 Phaedo|         other, which is the first argument in the Phaedo, is at variance
11 Phaedo|          to see that his crowning argument is purely verbal, and is
12 Phaedo|           not the souls.’ Such an argument stands nearly in the same
13 Phaedo|         Plato and his age, as the argument from the existence of God
14 Phaedo|           from Him.’~19. The main argument of the Phaedo is derived
15 Phaedo|          is a partaker; the other argument of the alternation of opposites
16 Phaedo|       truth is, that Plato in his argument for the immortality of the
17 Phaedo|         perfection. In using this argument Plato has certainly confused
18 Phaedo|          forego the delight of an argument in compliance with the jailer’
19 Phaedo|            the respondents in the argument.~First there is Crito, who
20 Phaedo|         At a particular point the argument is described as falling
21 Phaedo|       they too can never trust an argument again.’ And the intense
22 Phaedo|          Phaedrus as fonder of an argument than any man living; and
23 Phaedo|           at last concedes to the argument such a qualified approval
24 Phaedo|         Dialogues of Plato, is an argument to the contrary. Yet in
25 Phaedo|       whereas in the Republic the argument turns on the natural continuance
26 Phaedo|       mythology descends upon the argument. After the confession of
27 Phaedo|        temporary overthrow of the argument, the picture of Socrates
28 Phaedo|         seems to bring us and our argument to the conclusion, that
29 Phaedo|          requires a great deal of argument and many proofs to show
30 Phaedo|        said Cebes; and to me your argument seems to be absolutely true.~
31 Phaedo|           Socrates, as far as the argument is concerned, one of them
32 Phaedo|          would be no force in the argument? There is the same proof
33 Phaedo|         as for the other; and the argument retreats successfully to
34 Phaedo|        would be glad to probe the argument further. Like children,
35 Phaedo|        return to the point of the argument at which we digressed.~By
36 Phaedo|         may be inferred from this argument, as well as from the preceding
37 Phaedo|         every one who follows the argument, the soul will be infinitely
38 Phaedo|          what they thought of the argument, and whether there was anything
39 Phaedo|          alone or with Cebes, the argument does certainly appear to
40 Phaedo|          know in what respect the argument is insufficient.~In this
41 Phaedo|          a person to use the same argument about harmony and the lyre—
42 Phaedo|            My feeling is that the argument is where it was, and open
43 Phaedo|        body. Well, then, says the argument to me, why do you remain
44 Phaedo|  therefore rather not rely on the argument from superior strength to
45 Phaedo|        not only into the previous argument, but into any future one;
46 Phaedo|           the same question: What argument can I ever trust again?
47 Phaedo|          more convincing than the argument of Socrates, which has now
48 Phaedo|      begin again and find another argument which will assure me that
49 Phaedo|         had been inflicted by the argument, and the readiness with
50 Phaedo|        and return to the field of argument.~ECHECRATES: What followed?~
51 Phaedo|        and not to-morrow, if this argument dies and we cannot bring
52 Phaedo|        and if I were you, and the argument got away from me, and I
53 Phaedo|         in dialectics believes an argument to be true which he afterwards
54 Phaedo|     should have lighted upon some argument or other which at first
55 Phaedo|        see how much I gain by the argument. For if what I say is true,
56 Phaedo|           in which I approach the argument. And I would ask you to
57 Phaedo|      force of the whole preceding argument, or of a part only?~Of a
58 Phaedo|         said, of that part of the argument in which we said that knowledge
59 Phaedo|     impressed by that part of the argument, and that his conviction
60 Phaedo|         she have, if the previous argument holds?~Then, if all souls
61 Phaedo|        sure that you have put the argument with Harmonia in a manner
62 Phaedo|     surprised at finding that his argument could not sustain the first
63 Phaedo|         perish; for the preceding argument shows that the soul will
64 Phaedo|           departure; and the same argument would have held good of
65 Phaedo|          follow the course of the argument; and if that be plain and
66 Phaedo|         come to an end before the argument was completed. I may describe
67 Phaedo|        talking and conducting the argument; he fancies that I am the
