Plato And The Growing Importance Of The Doctrine Of A Divine Providence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425315788)

Plato And The Growing Importance Of The Doctrine Of A Divine Providence is a book written by F. W. Bussell. This book explores the concept of divine providence in the works of Plato, one of the most influential philosophers in Western thought. Bussell analyzes Plato's ideas about the role of the gods and the divine in human affairs, and how these ideas evolved over time. The book also examines the historical and cultural context in which Plato lived and worked, and how his ideas were received by his contemporaries. Bussell argues that Plato's emphasis on the importance of the divine in human life was a significant departure from earlier Greek thought, and that this emphasis paved the way for the development of later Christian ideas about God's providential care for the world. Overall, Plato And The Growing Importance Of The Doctrine Of A Divine Providence is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between philosophy, religion, and culture in ancient Greece.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: School of Plato: Its Origin, Development, and Revival Under the Roman Empire, by F.
