The Prometheus Trust, a registered charity, No. 299648, seeks to encourage and assist the flowering of philosophy as the living love of wisdom. It especially looks to the Platonic tradition as envisaged by its founders—a guide to the inner and outer life, and a spiritual path open to all men and women who seek deep-rooted truth. The Trust strongly affirms the idea that the whole universe is a divine drama, and that each individual soul is a part of this joyful and beautiful play.
