Synopsis: |
The philosophy associated with the name of Plato has had an immense influence on European thought and civilization, but, as the author of this work points out, it is a mistake to think of it as Plato's philosophy. He was one of the greatest exponents of an ancient philosophical tradition stretching back into the mists of time. Raphael draws a brief comparison between him and Shankara, the great exponent of "Advaita Vedanta" in India. To Plato, philosophy was not simply an academic study, it was a life transforming discipline: a way of life leading to the realization of man's full potential. |
