Question
Neoplatonists identified this concept as the third hypostasis after the One and Nous, and believed that there was a “world” type of this concept similar to that described in the Timaeus. This concept contains “rational,” “appetitive,” and “spirited” parts that are analogized to a charioteer and his two horses in the Phaedrus. The just city shares the tripartite structure of this concept according to The (*) Republic, in which many of these concepts gather and are judged in the Myth of Er. This concept sometimes titles the dialogue Phaedo, which gives “recollection” and “cyclical” arguments for the immortality of this concept. For 10 points, Plato often discussed what eternal, immaterial essence of a being? ■END■
ANSWER: soul [or psyche or anima; accept world soul or tripartite soul or On the Soul; accept spirit until “spirited” is read]
