So unlike those modern dualists
-
who think we need to appeal to something immaterial
-

Socrates thinks no, no,
-
the body takes care of all the bodily sensations,
-
all the desirings and the wantings and the emotions
-
and the feelings and the cravings.
-
That's all body stuff.

The soul, in its essence, is rational.
