In this course our goal is to understand Plato’s views on the soul. Our
central questions will be: (1) what is the soul, (2) does it have parts,
(3) how does the soul relate to life, (4) how does it relate to motion,
(5) what are its characteristic activities, and (6) what is the
relationship between the soul and the good life? We will read selections
from the Phaedo, Republic, Phaedrus, Timaeus, and Laws.
