Recollection of Death

Socrates brings up an interesting idea when pertaining to the theory of recollection. He says this theory relies upon our inherent ability to recall actions and beliefs based on proper questioning and diagnosis. Where would this stop? If the soul were eternal and moved from a former body to the next, shouldn't Socrates be able to recall his soul's previous death? Or rather because his soul has now learned how the body of Socrates will die that it will be able to recall the death from the correct string of questions? It creates an odd spectacle in which the theory is almost immediately proven false by the simple fact that no one can recall their soul's previous death. Just Socrates questioning the abilities and limitations of the soul raises the question: does the soul even know its own capabilities? The soul could be recalling events from past experiences, but it can never be so precise as to say where it is from. So when a soul recalls information, it possess an infinite memory; meaning that it can remember from far back in previous lives, regardless of details. However, the soul also possesses a finite memory in that it cannot recall between lives, but just happens to retain and "remember" information from those lives.

This is why we need professional thinkers. To answer my questions; the only TRUE questions.
