"The dialogues of Plato are so largely stamped with the characters of sovereign good, that they are calculated to benefit in a certain degree even those who are incapable of penetrating their profundity. They can tame a savage sophist, like Thrasymachus in the Republic; humble the arrogance even of those who are ignorant of their ignorance; Make those to become proficients in political, who will never arrive at theoretic virtue; and, in short, like the illuminations of deity, wherever there is any portion of aptitude in there recipients, they purify, irradiate, and exalt." - Thomas Taylor the Platonist ________________________________________ #onephilosophia #philsophia #thomastaylortheplatonist #platosrepublic #platonicphilosophy #platonism #platonicphilosopher #platonist #neoplatonism #neoplatonic #neoplatonist #plato (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFznP61FhtI/?igshid=1kpnjs7qeaahe

~The Supercelestial Place~ "As the dianoetic power of divinity We're wrongs with intellect and immaculate science, So likewise The dianoetic power of every soul, When it receives a condition Accommodated to which nature, Perceiving being through time, It becomes enamored with it, And contemplating truth, Is nourished and filled with joy, Till the circumference by a circular revolution Brings it back again to its pristine situation. But in the circuit it builds Justice herself, It beholds temperance, And science herself: Not that with which generation is present, Not in which one thing has a particular Local residents in another, Into which we give the appellation of beings; But that which is science and true being. And, besides this, Contemplating and banqueting On other two beings in the same manner, Again entering within the heavens, It returns to its proper home. But, when it returns, the charioteer, Stopping his horses at the manger, Presents them with ambrosia, And together with it, nectar for drink. And this is the life of the Gods." - From Plato's work The Phaedrus ________________________________________ Artist: @ramonlaasc #onephilosophia #philosophia #plato #platonicphilosophy #platonicphilosopher #platonictradition #platonist #platonism #neoplatonism #neoplatonic #neoplatonist #phaedrus #ancientphilosophy #philosophy (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFZ4sA9FN6i/?igshid=13db9lnqa2937

~GENERATING VIRTUE~ "Perceive you not, said she, That in beholding the beautiful With the eye, with which alone It is possible to behold it, Thus, and thus only, Could a man ever attain to generate, Not the images or semblances of virtue, As not having his intimate commerce With an image or a semblance; But virtue true, real, and substantial, From the converse and embraces Of that witch is real and true. The begetting true virtue, And bringing her up till she is grown mature, He would become a favorite of the Gods; And at length would be, If any man ever be, Himself one of the immortals." - Plato, Symposium _____________________________________________ Artist: livinginmars_ #onephilosophia #philosophia #plato #platossymposium #platonicphilosophy #platonicphilosopher #platonist #platonism #platonictradition #neoplatonism #neoplatonic #neoplatonist #virtue #theone #thebeautiful #thegood (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_jrjiFzqt/?igshid=14ihq4s22eal0

"The written law and the customs were being corrupted at an astounding rate. The result was that I, who had first been full of eagerness for a public career, as I gazed upon the whirlpool of public life and saw the incessant movement of shifting currents, at last felt dizzy, and, while I did not cease to consider means of improving this particular situation and indeed of reforming the whole constitution, yet, in regard to action, I kept waiting for favorable moments, and finally saw clearly in regard to all states now existing that without exception their system of government is bad. Their constitutions are almost beyond redemption except through some miraculous plan accompanied by good luck. hence I was forced to say in praise of the correct philosophy that it affords a vantage point from which we can discern in all cases what is just for communities and for individuals, and that accordingly the human race will not see better days until either the stock of those who rightly and genuinely follow philosophy acquire political authority, or else the class who have political control be led by some dispensation of providence to become real philosophers." - Plato from his work The Seventh Letter ________________________________________ For Astrology & Numerology Consultations call now on [phone] Follow @vedic.shastras Artist: ell_4 #onephilosophia #philosophia #plato #philosopherking #platonicphilosophy #platonicphilosopher #platonism #neoplatonism #neoplatonic #neoplatonist #ancientphilosophy (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCaVXh_F3z5/?igshid=8yu2p9nd8a14

"The platonic philosopher must be exercised in the truth which pervades through all things, and must excite his intelligible eye to real and perfect truth. He must establish himself in a firm, immovable, and safe kind of divine knowledge, and must be persuaded not to admire anything else, nor even to direct his attention to other things, but must hasn't divine light with an interpid reasoning energy, and with the power of an unawearried life." - Proclus from The Platonic Theology ________________________________________ Artist: edcapos #onephilosophia #philosophia #proclus #plato #platonicphilosophy #platonicphilosopher #platonist #platonism #neoplatonic #neoplatonism #neoplatonist #wisdom #ancientphilosophy (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCAWPVNnOU_/?igshid=bwzg068rgda1

"Socrates: The lovers of common stories and of spectacles delight in fine sounds, colors, and figures, and everything which is compounded of these; but the nature of beauty itself their dianoetic part is unable to discern and admire. Glaucon: That is certainly so. Socrates: But as to those then who are able to approach this beauty itself, and to behold it as it is in itself, must they not be few in number? Glaucon: Extremely so." - Excerpt from Plato's Republic _____________________________________________ Artist: trentkuhn_art #onephilosophia #philosophia #platosrepublic #plato #platonicphilosophy #platonicphilosopher #platonist #platonism #neoplatonism #neoplatonic #neoplatonist #beauty #theone #thebeautiful #thegood #noetic #dianoetic (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCAV40unRJq/?igshid=3eo048493clk
