phaedo

We talked about the phaedo a lot last class and I didn't agree with Socrates's first argument. His conclusion made the assumption that reincarnation is a proven fact. He said "The dead come to life again..." (47). As far as we know that doesn't happen. We don't know if reincarnation is real. We probably will never know if it is or not. I didn't see in the text how he proved reincarnation. Maybe I missed it I don't know. If he did someone please point it out to me. And since I didn't think that he proved it in the first argument, and then he combined the second argument with the first in proving them I didn't agree with his second argument either.
