Initiation into the Philosophy of Plato - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

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.
