The Phaedo shows awareness that the indeterminacy inherent in the body infects the validity of any scientific argument but also provides the subject of inquiry with the ability to actualize, to the extent possible, the ideal self. The Republic locates bodily desires and needs in the tripartite soul. Achievement of maximal unity is dependent upon successful training of the rational part of the soul, but the earlier curriculum of Books 2 and 3, which aims at instilling a pre-reflectively virtuous disposition in the lower parts of the soul, is a prerequisite for the advanced studies of Republic 7. In the Timaeus, the world soul is fashioned out of Being, Sameness, and Difference: an examination of the Sophist and the Parmenides reveals that Difference is to be identified with the Timaeus Receptacle, the third ontological principle which emerges as the quasi-material component that provides each individual soul with the alloplastic capacity for psychological growth and alteration.04aPlato.tPhaedo.04aPlato.tRepublic.04aPlato.tTimaeus. 4aSelf (Philosophy) 4aHuman body (Philosophy) 0aTrends in classics. pSupplementary volumes ;vv. 120.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oB398.S45 K37 2021pPNLIB21063046r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c3233d3233
