Phaedo Topic
Imagine a short dialogue between Socrates and his guard. You may use the brief comments Socrates makes about the guard as a creative starting point for imgagine what they may have discussed. The guard could be a fictional vehicle for a contemporary perspective. Socrates could be imagined as willing to say things to the guard that he might not say to his philosophical companions. Use your imagination, and make sure you have a philosophical point. 4-5 pages, typed, double spaced, due in two weeks. (posted Feb 12)
