The ancient commentaries on the dialogue by Olympiodorus and Damascius offer a unique perspective on the reception of this belief in the Platonic tradition. Through a detailed discussion of topics such as suicide, the life of the philosopher and arguments for immortality, this study demonstrates the commentators? serious engagement with problems in Plato?s text as well as the dialogue's importance to Neoplatonic ethics. The book will be of interest to students of Plato and the Platonic tradition, and to those working on ancient ethics and psychology. 410 0$aMedieval philosophy, mathematics, and science. 410 0$aStudies in Platonism, Neoplatonism, and the Platonic tradition ;$vv. 12. 606 $aImmortality (Philosophy) 606 $aDeath in literature 606 $aNeoplatonism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImmortality (Philosophy) 615 0$aDeath in literature. 615 0$aNeoplatonism. 676 $a184 700 $aGertz$b Sebastian Ramon Philipp$0841224 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457228703321 996 $aDeath and immortality in late neoplatonism$91877838 997 $aUNINA
