44d. Plato (Part 4) | Atlantis and the Archetype of Empire

In today's episode, we continue our exploration of the life, times, and philosophy of Plato. Here, we examine various aspects of his teachings about Atlantis. In particular, we analyze the esoteric significance of this pre-diluvian civilization from a historical, psychological, and philosophical perspective. As usual, Manly P. Hall's writings are heavily emphasized, as are aspects of Carl Jung's psychology, including his notions of "archetypes", which he drew from Plato in formulating, and the "collective shadow", which, as we will be exploring, is heavily linked to Atlantis's fall into collapse.To find the written article this episode is based on, see my Substack:thewisdomtradition.substack.comFor more on Atlantis, see my 2021 publication "Atlantis and the Origins of Civilization", available at my e-store:thewisdomtradition.bigcartel.comwebsite: www.alexsachon.com- Contains a link to Youtube for video and my Podcast for audioThank you,- AlexSend us a text
