Document Summary

All evil doing is based upon ignorance for good. How do we know the soul isn"t just a mist, or breathe that when the body dies, vanishes completely. Can we be sure it continues to exist after being separated from the body: gods disapprove of suicide they get to take us when they choose. The worst sin you can commit is to be inconsistent. What was a united whole during life, becomes a separate after death. Socratic irony there"s a great deal of irony in what socrates says: socrates will try to show that the soul does exist after death after drinking the hemlock. All change in a sense is change from one opposite to another.
