Enrol in our Plato on Beauty course here: halkyonacademy.teachable.com/p/plato-on-beauty-and-virtue
Seminars begin July 27th, 2024.
We tend to think of beauty today as primarily if not exclusively aesthetic. In fact, we consider beauty as subjective, as a matter of personal taste, in the eye of the beholder. But for Plato beauty is ontological and integral to his entire philosophy. Without beauty we cannot see the Idea of the Good — and vice versa. Thus, for Plato beauty is also intimately related to virtue and the Good Life.
We invite you to deepen your understanding of beauty, to remember in the sense of anamnesis what beauty in a primal sense means so as to learn how to find beauty in your life. Thomas hat put together a wonderful course for us on beauty.
