in order to alleviate cebes' worry that the soul might perish at death, socrates introduces his first argument for the immortality of the soul. this argument is often called the "cyclical argument". it supposes that the soul must be immortal since the living come from the dead. socrates says: "now if it be true that the living come from the dead, then our souls must exist in the other world, for if not, how could they have been born again?". he goes on to show, using examples of relationships, such as asleep-awake and hot-cold, that things that have opposites come to be from their opposite. one falls asleep after having been awake. and after being asleep, he awakens. things that are hot came from being cold and vice versa. 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. the souls of the dead must exist in some place for them to be able to return to life.
