Join us on Zoom for another Salon lecture on "Playing with Plato: Philosophy, Epistemology, Psychology, Mysticism, Ethics &amp; Atlantis" for Ipso Facto by Dr. James Rietveld on Thursday, February 20, 8 pm.Follow this link to join us: Pay What You Wish: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1114146314619We've all likely studied the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, widely considered the most pivotal figure in the development of Western philosophy, the most reliable ancient source on Socrates, and author of one of the most controversial, tantalizing stories ever written about Atlantis. For this lecture we journey into Plato's world of metaphysical, otherworldly matters of myth, mysticism, esotericism with a look into his personal life with his own stories. Plato and his school of thought, known as "Platonism," helped create some of the most basic foundational ideas pre-eminent within many philosophies and religions, both ancient and modern. Plato's famous work, the Republic, blends ethics, political philosophy, moral psychology, and epistemology and his Theory of Forms espouses that the world known through our senses is only an imitation of the pure, eternal, and unchanging world of the Forms. His understanding of how the universe operates still influences many modern thinkers, educated Christians, progressive Muslims, Jewish Cabbalists, philosophical neo-pagans, and Gnostics today. Plato also developed very complex ideas concerning the afterlife, reincarnation, and free will. Most philosophy students have heard about his Allegory of the Cave, but Plato also examined science and religion through a philosophical perspective, often seeing them as two sides of the same coin, and so creating the background influencing many mystical movements throughout the Western World. There is no reading of parts of the New Testament, the Early Church Fathers, Augustine, Nicholas Copernicus, or even Rumi, the famous Muslim Sufi mystic without seeing the hand of Plato’s great influence somewhere in the mix. Plato was also notably the founder of the first institution of higher learning in the Western world known as Academy in Athens. Yet there are still more, bits and pieces most do not know about this prolific ancient philosopher. Join us for an investigation of Plato and his legacy: an illumination of some often-neglected corners and curious threads, exploring Atlantis and the most arcane of hidden mysteriesThis lecture will be posted on the Dr. James Rietveld Salon Lecture You Tube channel, where you can also watch previous lectures: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1deliIGwpr9dPrGeHVWxdeOPe2d-Uh7GXzEKHnrWnG_VQks4MUHOlesK0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw" title="https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1deliIGwpr9dPrGeHVWxdeOPe2d-Uh7GXzEKHnrWnG_VQks4MUHOlesK0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903</a> Dr. James Rietveld is a professor at CSU, Fullerton and Cal Poly Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology, Religion with a PHD from Claremont School of Religion, is author of two books, and can be seen on History channel's "Crazy Rich Ancients."#history #historybuff #lovehistory #historytalk #historylecture #onlinetalk #onlinetalks #onlinelecture #salonlecture #salonlectures #drjamesrietveld #ipsofacto #ipsofactostore #ipsofactofullerton #historytalks #plato #philosophy
