I don't see how Plato can say that his telos is happiness or human flourishing if he thinks happiness can only be attained when the soul separates from the body. Human flourishing is, in essence, living. One can not be fulfilling what it means to be humans if her mind and body are not one. This dualism within ourselves is what makes us who we are and once they are separated we can no longer be human and we cannot flourish.
