Book Description
his book contributes to the ways that Plato/Socrates talk about life and death; and then shows how they responded to Aristophanes satirical exaggerations of their ‘insights.’ The author focuses entirely on how death and eternity are integral thematic components of the Platonic dialogues, using arguments from other famous scholars.
