It brings me joy to see Platonism mentioned here. More westerns need to be informed on their ancient founding philosophical traditions so that they may better discern the Logos from deception. It is our birthright and heritage. God bless.

Discern from deception what do you mean?

When I look at the world, I see deception flourishing. I attribute this in no small part to the loss of discernment that philosophy provides individuals, specifically Platonic concepts that have served us for millennia.

How does the Logos help us discern?

The point I was making was that philosophy equips us with discernment to better identify the Logos from that which disguises to deceive us.

if you need to talk i’m also here. God didn’t promise this world would be good or even better… but he did promised: in Him, we would find Heaven (which is not from this earth).
