SUMMARY:Plato on reincarnation- an open session in Manchester
DESCRIPTION:Although modern readers and commenters on Plato tend to ignore 
 Plato’s many references to the journey of the soul from life to life\, a
 n objective reading of his dialogues should make us pause and ask: if Plat
 o is serious about this\, what are its implications? Is it\, as some sugge
 st\, merely a cultural hangover from a more superstitious age\, or does it
  align the Platonic tradition with other major world philosophies and reli
 gions?\n\nWe will look at the reasons why Plato and his tradition consider
  this doctrine to be rational\, and read passages from the Republic\, the
  Phaedrus\, and the Timaeus which explore the outworking of it.\n\nWe w
 ill use this paper as the basis for our discussion: Plato on reincarnation
 \n\nThis event is free but donations are encouraged\, circumstances allowi
 ng. We’ll start the session at 6.30pm: tea/coffee and cake will be avail
 able just beforehand. No need to book. Please come back at the beginning o
 f September to download a PDF of the paper we’ll be using.\n\nThese even
 ings include short talks and/or readings from Platonic writings – but we
  hope they will be genuinely interactive\, with all participants invited t
 o contribute to our collaborative search for truth. No previous experienc
 e of formal philosophy is required. Every effort is made to make these typ
 e of evenings accessible to the newcomer\, while allowing the great profun
 dity of the Platonic tradition to step forward and speak to us at whatever
  level our present understanding sits.
