Plato's Sophia: His Philosophical Endeavor in Light of It's Spiritual Currents and Undercrrents by Harald Haarmann - 2019

Cambria Press, 2019. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. The distinction modern scholars make between the philosophical and the spiritual greatly obscures their comprehension of Plato's intentions as manifested in his philosophical discourse, argues Haarmann. He offers an excursion into the historical depth of knowledgable culture beyond Plato's horizon to unveil the roots of and the motivation for his endeavor. His topics include the spiritual condition of the philosopher's mind, the place of spirituality in Plato's categorization of knowledge, interacting with divinities, and spiritual currents and their pre-Greek origins.
