This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker. This Core Concept video focuses on Plato's dialogue, The Phaedo, and discusses one of the important sets of arguments for and against the immortality of the soul, those having to do with the question whether the soul could wear out over time.
