Plato and Platonism

Ancient Philosophy, Plato, Philosophy, ancient

Plato’s ideas have had an enduring and important impact on philosophy, science, and all people, from the ancient kings to modern day man and to all people in between. He passionately touches on the topics of love, virtue, politics, the soul, and ethics in his dialogues. Plato and Platonism demystifies the complex roots of Hellenic philosophy by explaining the impact Plato had on the world when he opened the Academy, a university that nurtured mathematicians, scientists, and great thinkers like Aristotle.Plato was born in Athens around the year 428 BC, the son of wealthy and influential parents. When Socrates, whose ideas heavily influenced Plato, was condemned to death, Plato left Athens and traveled widely, especially to Italy and Sicily. He studied with students of Pythagoras and spent some years advising the ruling family of Syracuse. Around 387, he returned to Athens, where he founded his Academy and taught mathematics and philosophy. He remained at the Academy until his death in 347.

The Renaissance, Studies in Art and Poetry

Renaissance Arts, Ut pictura poesis (Aesthetics), Renaissance

Walter Pater’s Studies in the History of the Renaissance was one of the most talked about books in nineteenth-century Britain, and it remains a work of unusual importance to anyone interested in art history or English literature. Pater’s luxurious and finely wrought style inspired generations of writers, and his unique blend of scholarship, philosophy, and personal bias made his view of the quintessential ‘spirit of the renaissance’ a key subject for subsequent aesthetic debate.
