The ancient philosophic tradition of Pythagoras, Plato, Plotinus, Proclus and many others was a living yoga of enlightenment. This book attempts to present to both the newcomer and those who have already studied aspects of the tradition the means for pursuing its truth and beauty as a way of perfection.

The Phaedrus is an important part of the Platonic corpus: standing as a beautiful and profound dialogue in its own right, it was also incorporated as a part of the structured reading syllabus of twelve dialogues in the Platonic schools of late antiquity from the time of Iamblichus onward. It offers its readers a wide-ranging picture of the nature of the soul and its journey through the beautiful cosmos.
To the dialogue (as translated by Thomas Taylor), the Prometheus Trust has added six introductory essays as well as Taylor’s translation of Hermias’ demonstration of the immortality of the soul, as presented by Socrates at the start of his inspired palinode.
The essays are:
The Scope and Structure of the Phaedrus
Hermias on Inspiration
A Platonic Demonstration of the Immortality of the Soul
Self-motion in Metaphysics: Descent and Ascent
The Journey of the Soul
The Oral Tradition in Platonism
