摘要
This paper sets out the possibility of reading Olga Tokarczuk's novel Flights in the context of Plato's dialectic method as represented in his dialogues. Plato's philosophy on the body-soul relation, as analyzed in Phaedo, sets the groundwork for the discussion of Tokarczuk's metaphysical enquiry into the extreme corporeal experience (amputation and phantom pains) and its projection on the human understanding of the nature of the soul.
