By analyzing the thought of Plato, when we consider the problem of knowledge, we found a preponderance of aspects related to the intellect and reasoning about the physical aspects and sensitive world of becoming. The soul, as opposed to the body, carries all the significance of being a philosopher, because only through it can know the truth, the object of unceasing pursuit of the lover of knowledge. The body is a bad thing for the man, the source of defects and difficulties, which can be ignored because of their inferior status to the soul. When questioned, on the Phaedo, where the body has a role in the process that occurs to the knowledge, the notion that we have shown is that the body is of no use to man, in regard to philosophical research, and thus only worthy contempt because it contains in itself the cause of all vices. However, if we analyze carefully the arguments relating to knowledge, especially the argument of Anamnesis discussed in this work, we realize that, despite the negative connotation of being explicit about the body, does not so understand in this regard is maintained throughout the dialogue. The focus of this research will therefore be to demonstrate that within the Phaedo, it is possible to identify a sensitive appreciation through a more careful reading and above all different, the point of being no longer possible to claim absolute uselessness of the sensitive as shown in the passage 65A.
