Document Summary
The arguments for and against the immortality of the soul continued . Last class student question: being alive and dead don"t seem to be comparatives like hot and cold. Prof needs to emphasize that you can say if something has come to be fast it is active form and you don"t have to use comparative. The emphasis has to be on coming to be. There is a sense in which alive and dead are comparative. If you are philosopher you can get further away from the body, so you can be different levels of alive. In the arguments he would add in brackets: the names of the processes. The obvious fact is that the dead comes to be from the living through the process of dying. Socrates believes what we call learning is our ability to recollect the forms. Implies we have some original time of collecting.
