This book argues that rather than being conceived merely as a hindrance the body contributes constructively in the fashioning of a Platonic unified self. The Phaedo shows awareness that the indeterminacy inherent in the body infects the validity of any scientific argument but also provides the subject of inquiry with the ability to actualize to the extent possible the ideal self. The Republic locates bodily desires and needs in the tripartite soul. Achievement of maximal unity is dependent upon successful training of the rational part of the soul but the earlier curriculum of Books 2 and 3 which aims at instilling a pre-reflectively virtuous disposition in the lower parts of the soul is a prerequisite for the advanced studies of Republic 7. In the Timaeus the world soul is fashioned out of Being Sameness and Difference: an examination of the Sophist and the Parmenides reveals that Difference is to be identified with the Timaeus' Receptacle the third ontological principle which emerges as the quasi-material component that provides each individual soul with the alloplastic capacity for psychological growth and alteration.
