  • Jowett: Phaedo (113d-114c) — Sanções

    Such is the name of the other world ; and when the dead arrive at the place to which the genius of each severally conveys them, first of all they have sentence passed upon them, as they have lived well and piously or not. And those who appear to have lived neither well nor ill,…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (92a-95a) — Exame da concepção de Simias

    But, rejoined Socrates, you will have to think differently, my Theban friend, if you still maintain that harmony is a compound, and that the soul is a harmony which is made out of strings set in the frame of the body ; for you will surely never allow yourself to say that a harmony is…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (89c-92a) — A misologia

    But first let us take care that we avoid a danger. And what is that ? I said. The danger of becoming misologists, he replied, which is one of the very worst things that can happen to us. For as there are misanthropists or haters of men, there are also misologists or haters of ideas,…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (88b-102b) — Reflexões preparatórias a uma retomada do debate

    All of us, as we afterwards remarked to one another, had an unpleasant feeling at hearing them say this. When we had been so firmly convinced before, now to have our faith shaken seemed to introduce a confusion and uncertainty, not only into the previous argument, but into any future one ; either we were…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (86e-88b) — A concepção de Cebes

    Cebes said : I will tell you. My feeling is that the argument is still in the same position, and open to the same objections which were urged before ; for I am ready to admit that the existence of the soul before entering into the bodily form has been very ingeniously, and, as I…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (85b-86e) — A concepção de Símias

    Well, Socrates, said Simmias, then I will tell you my difficulty, and Cebes will tell you his. For I dare say that you, Socrates, feel, as I do, how very hard or almost impossible is the attainment of any certainty about questions such as these in the present life. And yet I should deem him…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (84b-88b) — Aprofundamento do problema

    When Socrates had done speaking, for a considerable time there was silence ; he himself and most of us appeared to be meditating on what had been said ; only Cebes and Simmias spoke a few words to one another. And Socrates observing this asked them what they thought of the argument, and whether there…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (69e-84b) — A sobrevivência das almas

    Cebes answered : I agree, Socrates, in the greater part of what you say. But in what relates to the soul, men are apt to be incredulous ; they fear that when she leaves the body her place may be nowhere, and that on the very day of death she may be destroyed and perish…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (61c-69e) — O filósofo diante da morte

    Simmias said : What a message for such a man I having been a frequent companion of his, I should say that, as far as I know him, he will never take your advice unless he is obliged. Why, said Socrates, — is not Evenus a philosopher ? I think that he is, said Simmias.…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (57a-61c) — Prólogo

    Echecrates. Were you yourself, Phaedo, in the prison with Socrates on the day when he drank the poison ? Phaedo. Yes, Echecrates, I was. Ech. I wish that you would tell me about his death. What did he say in his last hours ? We were informed that he died by taking poison, but no…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (116a-118a) — Epílogo: a morte de Sócrates

    When he had spoken these words, he arose and went into the bath chamber with Crito, who bade us wait ; and we waited, talking and thinking of the subject of discourse, and also of the greatness of our sorrow ; he was like a father of whom we were being bereaved, and we were…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (114c-116a) — A lição do mito

    Wherefore, Simmias, seeing all these things, what ought not we to do in order to obtain virtue and wisdom in this life ? Fair is the prize, and the hope great. I do not mean to affirm that the description which I have given of the soul and her mansions is exactly true — a…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (95a-95e) — Discussão da concepção de Cebes

    Thus much, said Socrates, of Harmonia, your Theban goddess, Cebes, who has not been ungracious to us, I think ; but what shall I say to the Theban Cadmus, and how shall I propitiate him ? I think that you will discover a way of propitiating him, said Cebes ; I am sure that you…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (111c-113c) — Geografia infernal

    Such is the nature of the whole earth, and of the things which are around the earth ; and there are divers regions in the hollows on the face of the globe everywhere, some of them deeper and also wider than that which we inhabit, others deeper and with a narrower opening than ours, and…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (110b-111c) — A terra superior

    The tale, my friend, he said, is as follows : In the first place, the earth, when looked at from above, is like one of those balls which have leather coverings in twelve pieces, and is of divers colors, of which the colors which painters use on earth are only a sample. But there the…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (108c-110a) — Cosmologia e geografia gerais

    Now the earth has divers wonderful regions, and is indeed in nature and extent very unlike the notions of geographers, as I believe on the authority of one who shall be nameless. What do you mean, Socrates ? said Simmias. I have myself heard many descriptions of the earth, but I do not know in…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (107d-116a) — Mito do destino final das almas

    For after death, as they say, the genius of each individual, to whom he belonged in life, leads him to a certain place in which the dead are gathered together for judgment, whence they go into the world below, following the guide who is appointed to conduct them from this world to the other :…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (107a-107d) — Tudo ainda não foi dito

    I am convinced, Socrates, said Cebes, and have nothing more to object ; but if my friend Simmias, or anyone else, has any further objection, he had better speak out, and not keep silence, since I do not know how there can ever be a more fitting time to which he can defer the discussion,…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (105b-107a) — Prova da imortalidade fundada sobre a teoria dos contrários

    And now, he said, I think that I may begin again ; and to the question which I am about to ask I will beg you to give not the old safe answer, but another, of which I will offer you an example ; and I hope that you will find in what has been…

  • Jowett: Phaedo (103a-105b) — Objeção e resposta

    One of the company, though I do not exactly remember which of them, on hearing this, said : By Heaven, is not this the direct contrary of what was admitted before — that out of the greater came the less and out of the less the greater, and that opposites are simply generated from opposites…
