 note = {Platonism is acknowledged to be one of the essential factors in the tradition of Western philosophy. At the same time, we often speak of the Pythagorean influence on Platonism. It means that Plato accepted not a few elements from Pythagoras and the Pythagorean School in constructing his philosophical theory of idea. Then we must suppose that Western philosophy, of which the structure is determined by Plato's idealism, originally owes very much to Pythagoras. In this regard, Bertrand Russell's radical remark: "What appears as Platonism is, when analysed, found to be in essence, Pythagoreanism." is impressive. However, this statement of Russell is not so easy for us to confirm as it seems to be. In fact, we must first concede that we are very poorly informed of Pythagoras as well as of Pythagoreanism. Secondly, we must suspect that Pythagoras' life was biased by the main biographers, Porphyry and lamblichus, toward their Neo-Platonism. Thirdly, it is not excluded that even the sources, which these biographers used in their description of Pythagoras' life, might originate in Plato and his Academy. Thus in philological respect we would rather have to speak of the Platonic influence upon Pythagoreanism. Therefore the circumstances are more complicated than they appear. In order to clarify the exact meaning of Russell's above-mentioned statement, we must explore accurately the situation in which Pythagoreanism was put in Plato's time and specify the influence that the Pythagoreans could exert upon Plato. Then we must find out what Plato accepted from them in various passages from his dialogues. In the first chapter I mention Archytas of Tarentum, a contemporary of Plato, as an eminent, influential statesman and leader of the Pythagorean School. I explicate Archytas' teachings and his life-long friendship with Plato, although I cannot but in part depend upon historical conjectures. Thus I try to find out which factors Plato could receive from Pythagoreanism through Archytas. In the second chapter I interpret "Phaedo", Plato's important dialogue composed soon after his return from his travel through South Italy and Sicily, in the light of his acquired Pythagoreanism. It is true that the Pythagorean effect is conspicuous in the way in which Socrates as dramatis personae states the immortality of the soul, especially in his statements about the transmigration of souls. So far, I admit that Plato portrayed in "Phaedo" the Pythagoreanized Socrates. Yet I point out that the Pythagoreanization concerns only appearance. Socrates' narration in this work signifies with the help of the Pythagorean concepts in reality what Plato found out as the truth of Socrates' philosophizing life and death. Plato tried to portray the philosopher Socrates as he must have been beyond the historical Socrates., 26, KJ00004508476, Research Paper},
