Socrates believes that‚ “…the living have come from the dead no less than the dead from the living” (72a Phaedo). He then takes the previous statement and concludes‚ “…that if this was so‚ it was a sufficient proof that the souls of the dead must exist in some place from which they are reborn” (72a Phaedo). Socrates believes that souls are in preexistence and that each individual receives theirs

states that the soul is comprised of four distinct types of atoms: breath‚ heat‚ air‚ and an unnamed fourth‚ that is more mobile than the other three (3.231). Because these senses may occur at any point on the surface of or inside of the body‚ it may be argued that the soul must be spread evenly throughout the physical body. Atomism says that no atoms are ever created or destroyed‚ but rather disassemble and move on to other organisms after the host dies. It can be assumed that the soul undergoes the

In Plato’s dialogue Phaedo‚ there are a series of arguments presented by Socrates as proofs for the existence of the soul after death. The final and most convincing argument works as a direct application of Socrates’ idea of the Forms.

As for how many souls are entering Hell‚ let’s look at the different Religions that exist in the world today.
