Plato, The Phaedo - Philosophical Temperance And Courage - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's work, The Phaedo, which is a dialogue taking place between Socrates and his friends on the day of his execution.

Specifically it examines Socrates' discussion of the nature of the virtues of temperance and courage. He takes these virtues to be genuine only in the case of the philosopher, who have the right motivations and for whom these virtues are structured by wisdom
