Next Episode: 44d. Plato (Part 4) | Atlantis and the Archetype of Empire

In today's episode we continue our series on the philosophy of Plato by examining his teachings concerning the World Soul and the philosophy of archetypes, which represent divine ideas or thoughts held within the Mind of God. As we will be exploring, each form in the universe exists as an extension of one of these archetypal thoughts. Of course, this includes man himself.

In the latter part of this episode we will, as a "case study", be viewing mankind through the lens of archetypes, considering its origin and destiny in relation to this important philosophical idea.

Overall, this is Part 3 in an overall 6-part series. Stay tuned for the rest, there's material in there you won't want to miss.
