DESCRIPTION:"On the Question of Whether Plato's Phaedo Displays Philosophy 
 in Two Registers: Benardetean Reflections"\n\nA Lecture by Patrick Goodin\
 , Howard University\n\nFriday\, December 9\, 7:00 p.m.\, Great Hall\n\n \n
 \nQuite early in the Phaedo Socrates famously describes philosophy\, corre
 ctly understood\, as the practice of dying and being dead\, after which he
  goes on to discuss its meaning in detail. Out of this discussion emerges 
 the two well-known arguments for the immortality of the soul: reincarnatio
 n and recollection. The two primary interlocutors\, Cebes and Simmias\, ho
 wever\, raise two powerful objections that compel Socrates to revise his u
 nderstanding of philosophy. The question I wish to explore in this talk is
  whether the revised understanding is consistent with the first or constit
 utes philosophy in different register and what is the relationship between
  the two? \n\n \n\nPat Goodin is an Associate Professor of Philosophy and 
 the Director of the Caribbean Studies Program at Howard University. He cha
 ired the Philosophy Department for twelve years and is a founding member o
 f the Caribbean Philosophical Association. He works and publishes in areas
  of Ancient Greek Philosophy and Africana Philosophy. Most recently\, he c
 oedited a volume\, entitled The Eccentric Core: The Thought of Seth Benard
 ete with Ronna Burger\, published by Saint Augustine Press\, 2018. The pre
 sent talk is to be included in another planned volume on Benardete. HIs ne
 xt project is a study tentatively entitled Aristotle's De Anima: On the Po
 litics of Soul.
