    “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.

This can be revealed through the Plato dialogue where Socrates and Euthyphro discusses the concept of what justice and holiness is and if they are a part of one another.
