Hell yes, pretty much constantly. Why do you think they don't wear pants? |

"Plato was hardly rediscovered at that point - neoplatonism runs straight through the middle ages. What changed in the renaissance was that Plato was combined (ameliorated?) with Aristotelian influence from Islam." Yes, neoplatonism existed straight through. But the bulk of Plato's work was not available to the middle-agers, in general, from about the time of Boethius' "Consolation of Philosophy" and translations until the newer-ish translations appeared. During the middle ages, much of what went as "Plato" was actually fourth-hand translation work or preserved work by guys like Plotinus. And I should qualify my initial remark a bit. Had Plato never existed, Christian theology would no doubt look even worse today than it does. Without Plato it would be hard to imagine the "superiority of reason" even having a fighting chance through the middle ages. |

I stand somewhat to the left of that. Yeah, definitely. |

Plato didn't think that listening to 'relaxing sounds and smelling insence' was in any way a method for which to apprehend knowledge of the Form of the Good. Such things, for him, were mere shadows and images: the deluded realm of Eikasia. Nevermind |
