Plato can teach us how to withstand a constant barrage of propagandized power-plays“The Greek thinker Plato (428-348 BCE) speaks trenchantly to us today about twenty-first century barbarism,” writes author, Norman D. Livergood, in the introduction to
Rediscovering Plato and the Mystical Science of Dialectic.
“It is only when teachings like Plato’s dialogues become current again in the West that we will be able to rise above barbarity and depravity to a more enlightened existence. “Not only can Plato teach us how to withstand a constant barrage of propagandized power-plays, but Plato also provides esoteric Perennialist instructions for realizing our spiritual potential, which is even more important than struggling against despotism and benightedness.
“Plato helps us to rescue ourselves not only from political-economic-religious tyrants, but also from our own tyrannies: our mindless self-indulgence, our acquiescence to ignorance and self-satisfaction. The underlying bases of our contemporary social structures are founded on Plato’s concept of a natural, divine law that humans must follow to achieve justice and right conduct. This book offers a synopsis of the elemental foundation-structures of the human heritage as first presented by Plato. Further, it includes keys to Plato’s mystical philosophy of Dialectic, which the discerning reader can use to develop Higher Awareness.”
