His influence on the philosophy of religion is wide ranging and this book examines both that and the influence of religion on Plato.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCentral to Plato's thought is the theory of forms, which holds that there exists a realm of forms, perfect ideals of which things in this world are but imperfect copies. In this book, originally published in 1959, Feibleman finds two diverse strands in Plato's philosophy: an idealism centered upon the Forms denying full ontological status to the realm of becoming, and a moderate realism granting actuality equal reality with Forms. For each strand Plato developed a conception of religion: a supernatural one derived from Orphism, and a naturalistic religion revering the traditional Olympian deities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Kern Feibleman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113898504X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138985049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"James Kern Feibleman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965775855871,"sku":"9781138985049","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69b236ca-146c-4e3e-8df1-1bfbe1c7d74a.jpg?v=1767284743","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religious-platonism-james-kern-feibleman-9781138985049","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
