SUMMARY:Plato on Reincarnation-open session in London
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\nAdmissi
 on is free\, but we do encourage those who are able to donate £5 in order
  to cover our costs\, either as cash on the day or donating through this w
 ebsite\n\nMost of these evenings are self-contained and every effort is ma
 de to make them accessible to the newcomer\, while allowing the great prof
 undity of the Platonic tradition to step forward and speak to us at whatev
 er level our present understanding sits. Some of these sessions are coupl
 ed together\, in order to give us the space to examine more fully particul
 ar texts and themes\, but even here we will ensure that if those attending
  have missed the first of the two sessions a recap of what has gone befor
 e will help all participants to pick up the main threads of the theme.\n\n
 We use this paper as the basis of our discussion: Plato on reincarnation\n
 \nThe Trust has run similar activities for some 18 years\, and in our expe
 rience they allow the most profound questions concerning human life\, the 
 nature of reality\, and our interactions\, to be explored at once both ser
 iously and with good cheer. Our aim is to provide a forum for honest and 
 straight-forward enquiry\, but which is unafraid to explore inward-moving 
 paths too often neglected by modern schools of thought.\n\nClick on the Lo
