“The Platonic are the only writings to which I can return, in health or in sickness, without satiety, fatigue, or dissatisfaction. It matters not how often I open these golden books, I find thoughts and ideas which lift me above the sordid and material cares of life, and which are a perennial consolation and a refuge. These ideas are primarily in the noumenal world, and our apprehension and participation of them here, in the region of time and space, is a foretaste of a perfect participation hereafter, if we qualify ourselves for such an exalted intellectual experience.” — Thomas Moore Johnson, from his Introduction to Proclus’ Metaphysical Elements Art: Raphael, The School of Athens (1509–1511) — detail, showing Plato and Aristotle ----------------------------------------------------- #Philosophy #Wisdom #SchoolOfThought #MetaphysicalElements #Gno
