Final document has to be at 0% AI detection 100% original 1. Socrates presents an argument about the relation between the soul and the body in the Phaedo. Be sure to give an account of the argument (not just: Socrates says/thinks/believes... X, but: Socrates argues that X is the case because... of reason Y.) Philosophy presents arguments and gives reasons/grounds that support those arguments. 2. Support your presentation of the argument by reference to the text. Provide quotations that illustrate your points. Include references to each quotation. (33B, etc.) 3. How does Freud’s theory of the instincts in Civilization and Its Discontents give a different perspective on Socrates’s argument about the soul and the body? Would Freud support Socrates’s argument? Would Freud modify or change the Socratic argument, and if so how? Or would he reject it altogether? Again, support your argument with textual substantiation. 4. Use the primary texts only. Do not use secondary material, internet sources, or any AI resources.
