In this paper, I will examine Socrates’ view of death, and I will argue that, according to Socrates, there could be a third perspective on death that will not only make him truly immortal in a certain way, but will also immortalize the practice of Socratic philosophy. According to Socrates, either of these views of death would be acceptable to him the one, because he would receive a wonderful rest with no dreams to disturb him the other, because he would be able to talk philosophy with those who had gone before with impunity.
