SUMMARY:Good\, Wise\, Beautiful - an online open session
DESCRIPTION:All that is divine is good\, wise and beautiful” (the Phaedr
 us) : this is the closest Plato comes to expressing the now oft-repeated s
 aying “goodness\, truth and beauty” attributed to the tradition. We wi
 ll look at how Proclus handles this triplicity in his outstanding work Th
 e Theology of Plato in this online session.\n\nThese open sessions usual
 ly run twice on the same day to accommodate different time zones- more det
 ails to follow We take particular topics or passages from Plato and other 
 writers in the tradition - these are open to anyone interested\, and they 
 attract a wide range of participants. We usually begin with a short 5 or 1
 0 minute introduction to the subject in hand and (when appropriate) a read
 ing of a short text: this leaves a good hour or so to discuss the ideas wh
 ich arise. Please download it here: Good\, wise\, beautiful\n\nThere are n
 o fees payable. The Trust sees the Platonic tradition as a spiritual one: 
 not only a guide for the outer life\, but especially to be treasured for i
 ts assistance in the cultivation of the inner self - the soul - for\, says
  Plato in the Timeaus\, “we are not terrestrial plants\, but blossoms o
 f heaven.” We understand the tradition to be profound and cohesive\, an
 d one that repays the long-term effort required to truly embed oneself in 
 it. Our approach is not exclusive - we value other traditions for their i
 nsights - nor is it dogmatic or an attempt to proselytise: however we are 
 serious in our attempts to fathom the depths of the tradition\, to identif
 y its foundations\, and where its teachings seem to run counter to accepte
 d thinking to investigate them thoroughly rather than rejecting them prema
 turely. Thus our point of focus is on the teachings of the tradition and m
 ost especially our own inner response to them.\n\nBy joining our studies y
 ou are making no commitment beyond that of co-operating with us in our exp
 loration of those truths which have inspired a company of men and women mo
 st luminous in their understanding\, and unsparingly generous in their tea
 ching.\n\nYou can register for the UK timed session 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 Americas-timed session\, which w
 ill at 19:30 EDT\, will be found here also soon.\n\nPlease download the pa
 per we will use above before the session.
