Through his own writings and inspiration of Aristotle and countless others, Plato continues to influence every area of philosophic thought, to say nothing of his enormous influence on Christian theology. His dramatic dialogues, including Republic, the monumental treatise on the ideal state, render him one of the greatest of Greek literary geniuses. In this concise analysis, eminent Plato scholar A. E. Taylor examines the philosopher's theory of knowledge and doctrine of ideas; the ideal of the philosopher-king; the social system advocated in Republic; judgments on democracy; and belief in the immortality of the soul. Also considered: Plato's relationship with his master, Socrates; contribution to the idea of university education; attack on art; abstention from public life; anticipation of Copernicus. Taylor also mentions historical misunderstandings of the one he deems the most original and influential of all philosophers.

The hidden mysteries of the bible are there for us to search out. Proverbs 25:2 says “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of Kings is to search out a matter,” (NKJV). God conceals nuggets of truth, so His children can search them out. Almost, like a treasure hunt. Hidden in plain sight.

The Holy Spirit is who reveals to us the mysteries of the Bible. He reveals the mysteries to us when we humble ourselves and come ...

Kant tries to look at religious practices in relation to the Enlightenment movement and its firmly held beliefs in the power of reason and personal liberty.
