Why Socrates does not seem to fear death
According to Phaedo, it is true that Socrates do not fear death. This is because they believe that, after death they will have a better life with better friends even. He moves on and explains that in future even after death there will be a good life for the individuals who lived well while alive and the vice versa for those who have been wicked up. Socrates does not, in any case, seem to fear death as according to him he believes that true philosophers while alive spend most of their time preparing for death and dying at once, hence this makes it sound so unique if they would be noticed feeling sad when their dying time approaches.

This can be compared to the side of an individual who is a non-philosopher as he or she fears death only if there is something which is worse than it. It is evident from research that philosophers do not work on tit for tat as they aim at making sure that what they exchange is guided by wisdom as they advocate for truthiness.

Knowledge prepares one for death and this can be seen from the work of Socrates. He moved on and unlike other prominent philosophers such as Plato, he did not, in any case, regard the human body as an obstacle to knowledge, but he discusses it as rather the aim of getting knowledge which we would use up in future to prepare for death. Through this knowledge from the given philosophers, Socrates discussed to us the importance of gaining knowledge and understanding why we should not merge our soul and body as through doing this; we would not be in a position to prepare a way for our death.
