EP FIL 06 | The Reincarnation in Socrates and Plato

The research to understand how ancient thinkers understood the idea of ​​immortality of the soul and life after death reaches back to Plato’s “Republic” and the concept of reincarnation. In this episode, we analyze the main Socratic arguments to defend reincarnation and its importance to justify the idea that each individual can achieve excellence, overcoming his mistakes and learning virtue.
