Von der Unsterblichkeit der Seele

by Plato

Phaidon ist Philosoph und wie Platon ein Schüler des Sokrates. Im Dialog berichtet er von einem Gespräch, das er mit Sokrates am Tag seiner Hinrichtung geführt hat. Demnach ist der Körper nur durch die Anwesenheit der Seele lebendig. Verlässt sie ihn, lebt die Seele und mit ihr die Person fort. Jedoch ist das Wohl der Seele nach dem Tod von der philosophischen Lebensführung der Person abhängig. Nur sie führt zu innerer Ruhe und Freiheit.

About the author

Plato (Greek: Πλάτων), born Aristocles (c. 427 – 348 BC), was an ancient Greek philosopher of the Classical period who is considered a foundational thinker in Western philosophy and an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms. He raised problems for what became all the major areas of both theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Platonic Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the doctrines that would later become known as Platonism.
Plato's most famous contribution is the theory of forms (or ideas), which has been interpreted as advancing a solution to what is now known as the problem of universals. He was decisively influenced by the pre-Socratic thinkers Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, although much of what is known about them is derived from Plato himself.
Along with his teacher Socrates, and Aristotle, his student, Plato is a central figure in the history of philosophy. Plato's entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years—unlike that of nearly all of his contemporaries. Although their popularity has fluctuated, they have consistently been read and studied through the ages. Through Neoplatonism, he also greatly influenced both Christian and Islamic philosophy. In modern times, Alfred North Whitehead famously said: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato."

Eflatun'un bu eserini sevgili komşum C. hediye edince ve "yaparsın, aslansın, kaplansın diye de gaz verince, bir de Almanca okuyayım diye yola çıktım, elimde sözlüklerle :)) 10 günde ancak bitirebildim. Ama bitirdiğim için gururla (kendime tabii) ekliyorum.. Ben yine alıntılarımı Türkçe versiyondan yapayım.. En iyi bildiğimiz "Aşk bir akıl hastalığıdır", bu kitapta geçer misal.. AMA hemen ardından da ekler Eflatun: "fakat aşktaki delilik, insana cennetten sunulmuş bir kutsanmışlıktır" ;)
Ruhun sonsuzluğunu, intihar ve sonsuz ruh konusunu, yaradan ve ruh arasındaki ilişkiyi anlamak için bence ilk okumaya buradan başlamalı insan... Ama Türkçesinden :)))

Es ist eben ein Werk von Platon, aber ein zentrales wie Ich finde.
