About this book
Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato is a work by Thomas Taylor. A passage quoted from Hierocles says that philosophy is the purification and perfection of human life. The text says that Plato may be justly called the primary leader and hierophant of a philosophy it calls august, magnificent, and divine.
One argument states that body requires that which is incorporeal, and that which is incorporeal, body. The text says that every soul must perform periods, both of ascensions from generation, and of descensions into generation. The text says that Plato, in the 7th book of his Republic, likens our life to that of men in a subterranean cavern.
