Abstract

The present study aims to highlight the ethical content in the Phaedo, to focus on the conceptualization of ascetic virtue and its place in the dialogue. Furthermore, highlights how the ascetic virtue is linked to the kátharsis of soul and a possible continuity extends moral approaches in the Phaedo, with respect to exposure and development of virtues in the Republic.
