The lost metaphysics of Platonism - Philosophy and Theology as one.
The principles of theology are the basis and summit of philosophy – a view which may surprise us today, but one which was fundamental to the founders of the Platonic tradition. This lecture is an initial exploration of these principles, and asks what kind of theology and philosophy could this mean? What could Plato have been suggesting to the readers of his First Alcibiades in the following passage:
Socrates: Do we know of any place in the soul more divine than that which is the seat of knowledge and intelligence?
Alcibiades: We do not.
Socrates: This therefore in the soul resembles the divine nature. And a man, looking at this, and recognizing all that which is divine, and God and wisdom, would thus gain the most knowledge of himself.
Alcibiades: It is apparent.
