| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Some ancients (e.g. Plato) claimed that one's soul survives one's death; others (e.g. Epicureans and Stoics) denied it; and others (e.g. Aristotle) claimed that part of one's soul survives. In this research project, I considered arguments for, and practical implications of, some of those claims. The main result is my paper read at Symposium Platonicum (International Plato Society) in Brasilia in 2016, which is to be included in Selected Papers (Academia Verlag). There I examined Socrates' final proof of the imperishability of the soul in Plato's PHAEDO, not only as Socrates means it but also as Cebes understands it. In this research, on the whole, my focus fell on Plato, but I also considered Aristotle, moral realism in general, and other topics.
