This engaging course of lectures begins by providing a detailed and accurate overview of Plato's philosophy and it's central idea - the idea of a transcendent reality that has popularly become known as the theory of the Forms. Professor Kreeft then takes us on a concise journey through Western Philosophical history to show how that central idea - the theory of forms - has either been built upon or reacted to by philosophers ever since. We explore not only the work of Plato, but also that of several other great voices in the Western Philosophical tradition - Aristotle, Plotinus, and Augustine - each of whom gave the forms a new metaphysical address. Later lectures explore both Christian Platonists and philosophical movements such as Positivism and Nihilism which have been anti-Platonist in their outlook. In the end we are left with a richer appreciation for Plato's work and its enduring legacy.

I have never heard such a clear and understandable exclamation of platonic philosophy. Highly recommend.

Clear and easy to understand

Thank you prof. Kreeft for these lectures. I recommend them to everyone interested in philosophy. What I appreciated most was the value judgement from the Christian point of view on different philosophical schools and trends.

Excellent content and delivery

Prof. Kreeft has managed to explain an intricate matter in a succinct way without leaving aside his enthusiasm for the topic. This book will undoubtedly encourage listeners to read more on Platonism and Neo-Platonism.

Very clarifying and encouraging

This is philosophy at its finest. It's filled full of wonder and excitement. It asks more questions than it answers but it continually pushes you onward to discover the truth about our lives. This book will be some of the best time you'll ever spend and you will go back to it over and over again to find out what you have missed. You are in for a great intellectual journey.

Philosophy Like You Have Never Heard

Brilliant setting forth the debt we owe to Plato and those who carry on the project of loving wisdom. He sets Aristotle in the line of Plato rather than setting him against Plato. And rather than European Philosophy being in the line of Plato, Dr Kreeft shows that most of them are in the line of those ignorant interlocutors with whom Socrates dialogued in the dialogues.

This was so incredibly helpful and enjoyable. Your very best first step in the study of Plato or philosophy or reality in general.

Absolutely thrilling!

Solid Gold! Forget about the footnotes!

Dr. Kreeft is sharp and each lecture shows his clear admiration for the Platonic Tradition. I had a basic understanding of several of Plato's dialogues before listening to these lectures. I felt challenged, but at no point was I wondering what Kreeft was trying to say. This wasn't my first time with Dr. Kreeft and it will certainly not my last.

Excellent lectures.

I enjoyed it. Having read some Plato is almost a requirement. Narration and cadence work well for the material.

Well balanced

There are great philosophers and then there are great teachers of philosophy. Kreeft is the latter. He is a great teacher, and this is a prime example of it. He makes a very compelling case for the Platonic Tradition and it's centrality, not just as a given of Western culture, but as THE correct approach to truth. Kreeft, taking up Whitehead's oft-quoted aphorism about all Western philosophy being a footnote to Plato, demonstrates why this is so. He demonstrates how most of the rest of ancient and medieval philosophy has been an attempt to add to and/or incorporate Plato into a larger milieu. He also demonstrates how all modern philosophy, beginning with Occam (pre-Descartes even) until today consists of various attempts to subtract from Plato with disastrous results. I found it so utterly convincing that, once I had finished, I restarted it. To me it was that good.

If you decide you cannot agree with Kreeft's view point, you would still benefit greatly from arguing with his case.

The one downside is that Recorded books has not provided a guidebook and their website does not even have the course listed, which means no final exam. That's sad.

intellectual dynamite

This makes you want to step out of the cave of shadow and into the light! Not too difficult to follow either. As usual Kreeft is witty, clear and profound in this course.

This will change your life!

Would you listen to The Platonic Tradition again? Why?

I've listened twice and will listen again. It is a great overview of the history of philosophy in the context of Plato and his influence. As Whitehead said, the history of philosophy is a series of footnotes to Plato. This audio book gives a great, engaging overview of those footnotes.

It is well organized, well articulated, and accessible, while remaining intellectually faithful to its subject matter. You won't regret giving this one a listen...or two.

It's good. Really good.
