Plato

That's who I am, Nathan. I'm generous, I'm kind, I'm loyal, but I'm also a born prankster. A couple of months ago, Tom mentioned a theory someone had come up with about classical literature.

demonstrate that the new learning posed no threat to Christian belief. Neoplatonism But the Italians had not only furnished a set of scholarly techniques: they had also opened new intellectual horizons. Lessons were drawn from the commentaries of Plato and Plotinus undertaken in Florence by Marsilio Ficino (1433–99), which affirmed the power of human will and asserted the primacy of love over reason. Ficino’s synthesis of Platonism and Christianity was first transmitted in Latin by Fichet and in French

Socrates' dialogues actually were written by his pupil, Plato. The librarian here is a very pleasant woman, I like her a lot. Anyhow, she recommended some of the dialogues and I've started to read them." I can't hold my surprise, "You read philosophy! What for, isn't it boring?" She grins at me, "You were talking

Therefore I despair of any lasting peace amongst ourselves, till the Universities here shall bend and direct their
