The paper analyses the theme of separation between soul and body expressed in the dialogues of Socrates in Plato's 'Phaedo'. It is argued whether this separation leads to wisdom and the acquisition of knowledge otherwise blurred by the senses. The concept of death is considered from the perspective of gaining freedom from bodily desires.
