The Tenth Book of the Republic of Plato falls into two divisions:

first, resuming an old thread which has been interrupted,

Socrates assails the poets, who, now that the nature of the soul

has been analyzed, are seen to be very far gone from the truth;

and secondly, having shown the reality of the happiness of the

just, he demands that appearance shall be restored to him, and

then proceeds to prove the immortality of the soul. The argument,

as in the Phaedo and Gorgias, is supplemented by the vision of a

future life.
