1003 Intro  |             the veins are replenished. Plato does not enquire how the

1005 Intro  |       physicians. May we not claim for Plato an anticipation of modern
1006 Intro  |                possible.~Section 7.~In Plato’s explanation of sensation

1009 Intro  |               superficial observation, Plato remarks that the more sensitive
1010 Intro  |              any of these speculations Plato approximated to the discoveries
1011 Intro  |           should consider not how much Plato actually knew, but how far
1012 Intro  |           intermediate class, in which Plato falls short of the truths
1013 Intro  |              any rate, the language of Plato has been the language of
1014 Intro  |          between theology and science. Plato also approaches very near
1015 Intro  |           experimented: in the Timaeus Plato seems to have thought that
1016 Intro  |              of figure and number; and Plato is not wrong in attributing
1017 Intro  |                of the Pythagoreans and Plato suggested to Kepler that
1018 Intro  |        Democritus and the triangles of Plato? The ancients should not

1020 Intro  |                and development, but to Plato this is the beginning and
1021 Intro  |              gravitation, according to Plato, is a law, not only of the
1022 Intro  |              of the world, and of this Plato may be thought to have had
1023 Intro  |              principle of geology.~(2) Plato is perfectly aware—and he
1024 Intro  |              to the other dialogues of Plato and to the previous philosophy; (
1025 Intro  |                we are in doubt how far Plato is expressing his own sentiments.
1026 Intro  |              no reason to suppose that Plato intended his scattered thoughts
1027 Intro  |             refer to the successors of Plato,—for the elucidation of
1028 Intro  |              Pythagorean philosophers. Plato does not look out upon the
1029 Intro  |                  Phaedo; Arist. Met.). Plato, following his master, affirms

1031 Intro  |                 But unlike Anaxagoras, Plato made the sun and stars living
1032 Intro  |              constructed into figures. Plato adopted their speculations
1033 Intro  |             resembled the triangles of Plato in being too small to be
1034 Intro  |             they are either ignored by Plato or referred to with a secret
1035 Intro  |            were already some who, like Plato, made the earth their centre.
1036 Intro  |                much of a syncretist is Plato, though not after the manner
1037 Intro  |                we find fewer traces in Plato of early Ionic or Eleatic
1038 Intro  |               to us from the Phaedo of Plato as a Pythagorean philosopher
1039 Intro  |              about him. The story that Plato had purchased three books
1040 Intro  |             the earth, approximates to Plato’s sphere of the Same and
1041 Intro  |            Same and of the Other. Like Plato (Tim.), he denied the above
1042 Intro  |          neither is there any trace in Plato, who makes the earth the
1043 Intro  |               found in the writings of Plato, although the importance

1045 Intro  |        confusion and indistinctness in Plato’s account both of man and
1046 Intro  |              We cannot tell (nor could Plato himself have told) where
1047 Intro  |              cannot explain (nor could Plato himself have explained to
1048 Intro  |           reflection of the other. For Plato never clearly saw that both
1049 Intro  |                repeated by us. But, as Plato would say, ‘there is no
1050 Intro  |         presentiment of ideas. Even in Plato they still retain their
1051 Intro  |              consistent whole.~Lastly, Plato, though an idealist philosopher,
1052 Intro  |            with the other dialogues of Plato.~(b) The Timaeus contains
1053 Intro  |              to have an ideal of which Plato is unable to tell us the
1054 Intro  |                him from an evil world. Plato is sensible of the difficulty;
1055 Intro  |                to be the most perfect. Plato, like Anaxagoras, while
1056 Intro  |               it. The difficulty which Plato feels, is that which all
1057 Intro  |         self-inflicted. And here, like Plato (the insertion of a note
1058 Intro  |               we too hastily said that Plato in the Timaeus regarded
1059 Intro  |             upon them, are regarded by Plato as involuntary rather than
1060 Intro  |            Something like this is what Plato means when he speaks of
1061 Intro  |             criticizing the Timaeus of Plato, in pointing out the inconsistencies
1062 Intro  |             that a few pages of one of Plato’s dialogues have grown into
1063 Intro  |             whether the description in Plato agreed with the locality
1064 Intro  |               permanent value:—~1. Did Plato derive the legend of Atlantis
1065 Intro  |              in any writer previous to Plato; neither in Homer, nor in
1066 Intro  |                years after the time of Plato, had been transferred to
1067 Intro  |                a generation later than Plato, and therefore may have
1068 Intro  |               to have been invented by Plato than to have been brought
1069 Intro  |               part of his legend which Plato also seeks to impose upon
1070 Intro  |                rather to the genius of Plato? Or when the Egyptian says—‘
1071 Intro  |                literary trick by which Plato sets off his narrative?
1072 Intro  |             stated in the narrative of Plato? And whence came the tradition
1073 Intro  |             unfinished Egyptian poem’ (Plato). But are probabilities
1074 Intro  |               in antiquity? or why did Plato, if the whole narrative
1075 Intro  |           except in the imagination of Plato. Martin is of opinion that
1076 Intro  |              Martin is of opinion that Plato would have been terrified
1077 Intro  |                whether the Atlantis of Plato in any degree held out a
1078 Intro  |              by the great authority of Plato, and therefore the legend
1079 Intro  |              discovery.~The Timaeus of Plato, like the Protagoras and
1080 Intro  |        thinking, not of the context in Plato, but of the contemporary
1081 Intro  |                to the understanding of Plato, it throws an interesting
1082 Intro  |             analysis of the Timaeus of Plato, omitting the introduction
1083 Intro  |             simplified the language of Plato, in a few others he has
1084 Intro  |            from the other dialogues of Plato, we may still gather a few
1085 Intro  |            reader. There is nothing in Plato grander and simpler than
1086 Intro  |                verisimilitude by which Plato insinuates into the mind
1087 Intro  |                implying to the mind of Plato a divine reality. The slight
1088 Intro  |              is very characteristic of Plato.~
