SUMMARY:Socrates' Daemon- an online open session
DESCRIPTION:In several dialogues Socrates speaks of his daemon – a voice 
 he hears which guides his life. In this session we look at the nature of d
 aemons in general\; Socrates’ description of his interactions with his d
 aemon\; and the comments around this subject from several Platonic comment
 ators from antiquity.\n\nPlease download the paper we will be drawing from
  here: The Daemon of Socrates The time given is in BST timezone.\n\nThese 
 open sessions usually run twice to accommodate different time zones-this i
 s the UK-timed session. We take particular topics or passages from Plato a
 nd other writers in the tradition - these are open to anyone interested\, 
 and they attract a wide range of participants. We usually begin with a sho
 rt 5 or 10 minute introduction to the subject in hand and (when appropriat
 e) a reading of a short text: this leaves a good hour or so to discuss the
  ideas which arise (this will be posted here and emailed to those who have
  registered).\n\nThere are no fees payable. The Trust sees the Platonic tr
 adition as a spiritual one: not only a guide for the outer life\, but espe
 cially to be treasured for its assistance in the cultivation of the inner 
 self - the soul - for\, says Plato in the Timeaus\, “we are not terrest
 rial plants\, but blossoms of heaven.” We understand the tradition to b
 e profound and cohesive\, and one that repays the long-term effort require
 d to truly embed oneself in it. Our approach is not exclusive - we value 
 other traditions for their insights - nor is it dogmatic or an attempt to 
 proselytise: however we are serious in our attempts to fathom the depths o
 f the tradition\, to identify its foundations\, and where its teachings se
 em to run counter to accepted thinking to investigate them thoroughly rath
 er than rejecting them prematurely. Thus our point of focus is on the teac
 hings of the tradition and most especially our own inner response to them.
 \n\nBy joining our studies you are making no commitment beyond that of co-
 operating with us in our exploration of those truths which have inspired a
  company of men and women most luminous in their understanding\, and unspa
 ringly generous in their teaching.\n\nYou can register for the UK timed se
 ssion via zoom here. It will display the time in your time zone. Zoom will
  then email you the link to join This session is at 19:45 GMT.\n\nThe Amer
 icas-timed session\, will run on the 15th of June- you can register here.
