Description
The spontaneous urge to give thanks for goods received is natural to the human condition. All the pieces in this little book, drawn from the Platonic tradition of philosophy, are genuine expressions of such thanks; and of certainty, faith, truth, belief, need, experience and love. Aesthetics alone should be put aside when considering or using these invocations and songs, as they are regarding subjects which defy commonplace modes of expression.
This book has some seventy-five devotional pieces drawn from the many centuries of philosophical experience, including passages from Homer, the Orphic Hymns, Plato, Plotinus, Iamblichus, Proclus, Thomas Taylor and several modern writers. The Platonic tradition is very much alive and Philosophy continues to sing through this tradition’s years and life, for the well-being and the good of all – and so this book seeks to inspire its readers.
