According to Plato, the evils of the body cannot be cured without also curing the evils of the soul

Giovanni Reale

pp. 19-31

Abstrakt

Plato knew well the medicine of his time. He also had his own form of a philosophy of medicine containing intuitions of extraordinary significance and a core of truth which in certain respects remains largely valid today. I will investigate this point in two of Plato's dialogues: the Charmides, which dates from his youth, and the Timaeus, his last published work.
