The Embodiment of the Soul Sample Clauses

The Embodiment of the Soul. As discussed above, true philosophers try to separate the soul from the body and this is their chief occupation. The purpose of this section is to examine the embodiment of the soul and its effects on the soul’s cognitive powers.237 I argue that the practice of dying, on the one hand, signifies a process in which philosophers try to purify their soul from the influence of the body. Being dead, on the other hand, is the final state of purity, which can be achieved after death if we have been successful in purifying ourselves during life.238 Firstly, the disembodied soul, if it is purified successfully, would directly and instantly attain wisdom in Hades and true philosophers encounter wisdom (or the truth) as a consequence of their practice in this world. In other words, true philosophers acquire wisdom in Hades automatically.239 Secondly, true philosopher attain wisdom (or the truth) in this world as a result of their vigorous search, that is, true philosophers actively pursue wisdom in this world. During both the embodied and disembodied existences, the soul’s nature is the same. That is, both the soul by itself and the embodied soul are invisible and immaterial, no matter whether it is in Hades or in this world.240 However, the soul’s cognitive 237 The idea of embodiment seems to be referred to in the recollection argument. Xxxxx says, ‘but it [sc. to be reminded] would be impossible, unless our soul were existing somewhere before it was born to this human form (Phd. 72e7-73a2 τοῦτο δὲ ἀδύνατον, εἰ μὴ ἦν που ἡμῖν ἡ ψυχὴ πρὶν ἐν τῷδε τῷ ἀνθρωπίνῳ εἴδει γενέσθαι·’. See Phd. 70b3-4 ‘It [sc. disembodied soul] has some power and wisdom (τινα δύναμιν ἔχει καὶ φρόνησιν)’. For Xxxxxx (1972,212), soul’s power is its permanent existence, and the disembodied soul’s wisdom is ‘(pre-empirical) disposition for knowledge’. 238 There can surely be degrees of purification. The most purified are philosophers, no matter what the purification amounts to. See Xxxxxxx 2003, 98-102. I agree with him that there are degrees of the separation of the soul and body, which indicates that the philosopher achieves separation “strictly” but “to some degree”. 239 By the term ‘automatically’, I do not mean that philosophers attain wisdom in Hades without conscious thought or attention. Rather, my point is that they come to have wisdom without actively searching for it. 240 See Phd. 79b4-c1. Cf. 81c1-81d2 where Xxxxxxxx says that some souls are ‘drifting, as it is said around monuments an...
