Pharmacy In Plato's Phaedo & Phaedrus And Problems Of Socrates

This paper focuses on the "phamiacy" meaning of "soul's immortality" and "words" in Plato's Phaedo and Phaedrus. We can also follow the questions in the content of that two works from two different perspectives of "poison" and "medicine". Obviously, Plato made use of Socrates to examine the temporal "philosophical disease" and supplied another life-style which was different from ancient Athenian's tradition. Because of the times, maybe it's a medicine in Plato's works but we would treat it as a poison, viz, poison and medicine are related to an evaluation criterion. However, phamiacy is the homonymy and has the tension in conciliating nervous situations and conflicts in Plato's works. There are more difficulties and indigence in our modern perspectives on Plato's classical works which nonetheless can't interrupt the dialogues between us modern people and the ancients. We can also derive favorableness from them to solve the different problems of modernity. Today science and technology have uprooted human beings from the earth, but the philosophical discourses on life, truth and morality are still forever.On the prejudice of enthusiasm in Nietzsche's philosophy, this paper intends to make reference to lots of his interpretations on Socrates and Plato, utilizes his life-philosophy and psycho-historical methods to point out the possibilities of solving the pharmacy problems. Then after Nietzsche's criticizes, there still have modem problems left. Plato and Nietzsche, both of philosophers and writers, were lost in same contemplation in human's life-style. Continually they have the same ultimate goals in human flourishing.
