Socrates then gets Cebes to conclude that the dead are generated from the living, through death, and that the living are generated from the dead, through birth.

Cebes voices his fear of death to Socrates: "... they fear that when she soul has left the body her place may be nowhere, and that on the very day of death she may perish and come to an end immediately on her release from the body ... dispersing and vanishing away into nothingness in her flight.

Translations of the Discourses ( e. g. by Elizabeth Carter, George Long ) have included the Enchiridion, and it has often been included with other moral writings from the ancient world, most notably the Tablet of Cebes.

Cebes of Thebes ( c. 430 – 350 BCE ) was an Ancient Greek philosopher from Thebes remembered as a disciple of Socrates.

By engaging in dialectic with a group of Socrates ' friends, including the Thebans Cebes and Simmias, Socrates explores various arguments for the soul's immortality in order to show that there is an afterlife in which the soul will dwell following death.

" While admitting that the soul is the better part of a man, and the body the weaker, Cebes is not ready to infer that because the body may be perceived as existing after death, the soul must therefore continue to exist as well.

Cebes continues that though the soul may outlast certain bodies, and so continue to exist after certain deaths, it may eventually grow so weak as to dissolve entirely at some point.

Socrates thus concludes, " Then, Cebes, beyond question, the soul is immortal and imperishable, and our souls will truly exist in another world.
