Plato
June 3, 2026 Vance Morgan
Simone Weil read Plato not as a scholar seeking objective understanding but as a fellow mystic. She believed Plato's philosophy described a mystical ascent toward the divine, a path uniquely framed by Greek thought. Weil found numerous connections between Plato's search for mediation and the activity of Christ, the central mediating figure in the Christian narrative that shaped her own mystical experiences.
