Dying v. Being Dead Sample Clauses

Dying v. Being Dead. Xxxxxxxx defines “being dead (τὸ τεθνάναι)” as follows: ‘the body has been separated from the soul and come to be apart, alone by itself, and the soul has been separated from the body and is apart, alone by itself’.218 Xxxxxxxx then explains why this is the sole pursuit of philosophers: [T16] It [the soul] reasons best when it is being troubled neither by hearing nor by sight nor by pain, nor by a certain sort of pleasure either, but when it as much as possible comes to be alone by itself, ignoring the body, and, as far as it can, doesn’t associate or have contact with the body when reaching out to what is real.219 Later, Xxxxxxxx links the practice of philosophers with their eagerness to separate the soul from the body; he says, ‘according to us it is those who really love wisdom who are always particularly eager – or rather, who alone are always eager – to release it [the soul], and philosophers’ practice is just that, release and parting of soul from body’.220 Here, it is necessary to observe that Xxxxxxxx is talking about ‘τὸ μελέτημα’ of philosophers; he seems to consider their practice as ‘training oneself for an actual event or situation’.221 In this respect, the correct philosophical practice consists of philosopher should evaluate bodily affections correctly, and feeling pleasures and pains is not wrong as such. See Xxxxx 2004, 98, Xxxxxxx 2005, 87-92. 218 Phd. 64c4-8. The use of the perfect infinitive, τεθνάναι, might denote either ‘the state of being dead’ or ‘the completion of the process of dying’ (Xxxx 1993, 127). In this passage, “τεθνάναι (being dead)” and “death (Phd. 64c8 ὁ θάνατος)” are used interchangeably, and it seems to refer to the state of being dead. See also Gallop 1975, 226 n.3. 219 Phd. 65c5-9. A similar thought reiterated at Phd. 66e4-5: ‘it is impossible to have pure knowledge (καθαρῶς γνῶναι) of anything when we are in the company of the body’. See also Phd. 65d11-e4. 220 Phd. 67d7-10 Λύειν δέ γε αὐτήν, ὥς φαμεν, προθυμοῦνται ἀεὶ μάλιστα καὶ μόνοι οἱ φιλοσοφοῦντες ὀρθῶς, καὶ τὸ μελέτημα αὐτὸ τοῦτό ἐστιν τῶν φιλοσόφων, λύσις καὶ χωρισμὸς ψυχῆς ἀπὸ σώματος· 221 See also “practice for death (Phd. 81a1-2 μελέτη θανάτου)”; “practise to be ready for really being dead (80e6-81a1 τῷ ὄντι τεθνάναι μελετῶσα ῥᾳδίως)”; ‘they [the souls of the bad] are bound, in all likelihood, into whatever sorts of character they happen to have practised in their life (81e2-3 μεμελετηκυῖαι τύχωσιν ἐν τῷ βίῳ)’.

  • Removal After Your Tax Filing Deadline If you are correcting an excess contribution after your tax filing deadline, including extensions, remove only the amount of the excess contribution. The six percent excess contribution penalty tax will be imposed on the excess contribution for each year it remains in the IRA. An excess withdrawal under this method will only be taxable to you if the total contributions made in the year of the excess exceed the annual applicable contribution limit.

  • Removal Before Your Tax Filing Deadline An excess contribution may be corrected by withdrawing the excess amount, along with the earnings attributable to the excess, before your tax filing deadline, including extensions, for the year for which the excess contribution was made. An excess withdrawn under this method is not taxable to you, but you must include the earnings attributable to the excess in your taxable income in the year in which the contribution was made. The six percent excess contribution penalty tax will be avoided.

  • Contribution Deadline The deadline for making an IRA contribution is your tax return due date (not including extensions). You may designate a contribution as a contribution for the preceding taxable year in a manner acceptable to us. For example, if you are a calendar year taxpayer, and you make your IRA contribution on or before April 15, your contribution is considered to have been made for the previous tax year if you designate it as such. If you are a member of the Armed Forces serving in a combat zone, hazardous duty area, or contingency operation, you may have an extended contribution deadline of 180 days after the last day served in the area. In addition, your contribution deadline for a particular tax year is also extended by the number of days that remained to file that year’s tax return as of the date you entered the combat zone. This additional extension to make your IRA contribution cannot exceed the number of days between January 1 and your tax filing deadline, not including extensions.
