Plato, The Phaedo - Suicide And Readiness For Death - Sadler's Lectures

Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's work, The Phaedo, which is a dialogue taking place between Socrates and his friends on the day of his execution. Specifically it examines Socrates' discussion of whether it is morally right or wrong to commit suicide -- a pressing issue, given that his impending execution requires him to drink poisonous hemlock.
