SUMMARY:Inspiration - open session in London
DESCRIPTION:There are several Platonic dialogues in which inspiration is pr
 aised above reason – notably the Symposium\, the Phaedrus\, and perhaps
  the Io.  We will explore ancient Platonists’ writings on this theme i
 n order to consider the place of inspiration as integral to the life and w
 ork of philosophers\, noting how Plato presents Socrates as a model of an 
 inspired philosopher.\n\nThis event is free but if you can please donate 
 £5 or more in order to cover our costs\, either as cash on the day or don
 ating through this website\n\nMost of these evenings are self-contained an
 d every effort is made to make them accessible to the newcomer\, while all
 owing the great profundity of the Platonic tradition to step forward and s
 peak to us at whatever level our present understanding sits. Some of thes
 e sessions are coupled together\, in order to give us the space to examine
  more fully particular texts and themes\, but even here we will ensure tha
 t if those attending have missed the first of the two sessions a recap of
  what has gone before will help all participants to pick up the main threa
 ds of the theme.\n\nThe Trust has run similar activities for some 18 years
 \, and in our experience they allow the most profound questions concerning
  human life\, the nature of reality\, and our interactions\, to be explore
 d at once both seriously and with good cheer. Our aim is to provide a for
 um for honest and straight-forward enquiry\, but which is unafraid to expl
 ore inward-moving paths too often neglected by modern schools of thought.\
