Socrates 'Opposites' Argument

The argument that is most convincing for the immortality of the soul is the “opposites” argument. I have found this one to be the most convincing considering the fact that I do believe that something that has an opposite had to had been generated from that opposite and reverse. Like for example, something being tall would of had to been smaller at first and the other way around. Tall could be generated from its opposite small, whereas it could be the other way around where small could be generated from its opposite tall. These are the ideas that I agree with as explained by Socrates in the Phaedo dialogue where he is soon to be executed. [71a] (Soc)it must have been greater and then have become smaller?”

(Cebes)“That is true,” .

It doesn’t give reasoning of to what extent it ends.

I personally think that with the arguments Socrates has provided, gave me a clue on how to care for the soul and not the body. The body shouldn’t be of main concern considering it is not something that is really essential in life. I liked how when Socrates’s accompanies was in confusion of something, he would change that in a sense of breaking the reasonings down to them thoroughly.

One thing I can say that is of complex to me somewhat is the idea of the philosophical term form, in which something is just that and not subjected to change. I get the meaning of it by how it is something that is the exact reality of something, but what I don’t get is the understanding. I have questions like is that something we are to look forward to when we die; the exact form of something? Would we be actually satisfied with this result? I can’t help but wonder what how these forms are going to affect us when we are in another world where our true form is shown.
