SUMMARY:Friday Forum: Celebrations of Oneness in Plato and Judaism
DESCRIPTION:TBA member and scholar Carl Levenson presents at Friday Forum o
 n January 16! Join us for "Celebrations of Oneness in Plato and Judaism."\
 n\nPlato wrote dialogues in which Socrates\, his teacher -- who was execut
 ed for impiety in 399 B.C. --was the major figure. The conceptual basis o
 f theology (Jewish\, Christian\, Islamic) goes back to Plato's writing\, w
 ith its debates about ethics and politics\; science\, art\, and prophesy\;
  and -- above all -- the "One" and the "Good." The best introduction to P
 lato is the Parable of the Cave from Book Seven of the Republic (514a-51
 7a). We'll read it together (three pages -- copies provided) and discuss 
 it in the light of the Jewish tradition: scripture\, liturgy\, mysticism.
 \n\nSign up here.
