Olaf also felt rather insulted by Jim’s size‚ as if this man came to remind him how small and insignificant he really is. “Ungainly bigness that frightened and insulted Olaf‚ he felt as though this man had come here to expressly remind him how puny‚ how tiny‚ and how weak….” This upset Olaf‚ but most of all it frightened him to have such a massive man standing right in front of him; anyone

432746 Purpose: In this paper‚ I will evaluate Socrates’ argument from Phaedo for why philosophers should desire death‚ perhaps only secondly to wisdom. I will argue that Socrates unfairly characterizes the truthfulness of the senses‚ and therefore projects a pessimistic view of the philosopher’s virtue during life.
