| Summary | "Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato" by Thomas Taylor is a philosophical treatise likely written in the early 19th century. This scholarly work aims to elucidate the profound and intricate ideas inherent in Plato's philosophy, asserting its timeless relevance and foundational significance to the field of philosophy itself. The opening of the text lays the groundwork for understanding Plato's philosophy as a means of achieving the highest good, which is the ultimate purification of the soul and harmony with the divine. Taylor references Hierocles and discusses the supreme principle of existence, positioned above being and intellect—depicting notions of the ineffable One, which transcends classical categorizations of existence. He sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Plato's key dogmas, with an emphasis on the essential unity of all things, the nature of the divine, and the pivotal role of virtue in connecting humanity to a higher reality.
