Phaedo is an important dialogue of Plato. The various aspects which it highlights include the arguments for the immortality of soul, theory of forms, and the Philosophy of death. Along with 'Republic', other dialogues where he has discussed the topic of immortality include Timaeus, Gorgias, Phaedrus, and Symposium. Although Plato is not the first or the last one to shed light on this important philosophical issue but Phaedo occupies a central place on this topic in the history of thought. This paper focuses on the immortality of soul with special reference to Plato's Phaedo. The primary concern is to outline and analyse the related arguments as have been enlisted by Plato. Six arguments related to the concept of immortality have been discussed in this paper which include; the argument from the opposites, the argument from recollection, the argument from recycling, the argument from simplicity, the argument from nature of forms, and the argument from essential attributes.
