Bailey here offers a student-friendly guide to Plato's dialogue \u003cem\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/em\u003e, as part of the Oxford Guides to Philosophy series. In the process of explaining the text, Bailey provides a picture of Plato's metaphysics as revealed by the four major arguments it contains. Offering a concise discussion of Platonic forms--the abstract objects Plato famously proposed--Bailey argues that Plato was thinking carefully about names and naming throughout the construction of the \u003cem\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/em\u003e. Readers of the \u003cem\u003eSymposium\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eRepublic\u003c\/em\u003e, those intrigued by the figure of Socrates, and those who believe in the immortality of the Soul will value Bailey's expert explanation of the thematic diversity contained in the \u003cem\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e D.
