Socrates Recollection Essay

“For seeking and learning are in fact nothing but recollection.” (Socrates) I have never been a big fan of reincarnation, but I think it’s really interesting that how Socrates looked at it. I think it’s true that we knew the stuff that we know now from before. The brain is the most complicated organs in the body and doesn’t matter how much science improved and now we know about brain way much more, but still there’s a lot of mystery that we don’t know about it and recollection could be one of them.

Just because nobody remembers it or knows about it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. We could easily live 1000 years in another world, another life, but just don’t remember it, but we collect enough information that when we came to this world we knew what to
