A Criticism of Plato's theory of "the eternity and over-lasting nature of Soul and the Role of Intuition on it"
Author(s):
Abstract:
One of the foundations of Plato's perspective is the soul and its eternity and over-lasting nature. Therefore he attends to prove it in a couple of his papers and presents four arguments for it. The important point is that intuition has an important role in the presentation of the theory of "the eternity and over-lasting nature of soul". The present article will first study and criticize the four arguments, and will then discus the role of intuition on the eternity and over-lasting nature of soul.I will conclude that Plato has presented the theory of the eternity and overlasting nature of soul to strengthen the foundation of intuition in his philosophy. Since intuition changes with the course of soul's changes, it can have three different levels. First is the pre-descendance level, second is the level of bodily life and finally is the ascendance of the philosopher's soul to the divine world. According to Plato each of these levels of soul corresponds with some intuitions.
