Plato's Revenge!

from The Theology Pugcast · host The Theology Pugcast

The Pugcast finishes its Pacific Northwest Tour in Moscow, Idaho at the Nuart Theater! The theme for the show is Plato--and why he just won't go away. It is something of a cottage industry in certain pockets of the Reformed world to write off one of the most important figures in the history of western thought. Paradoxically, this puts these people on the same page with many secular thinkers--like Nietzsche for example. He didn't like Plato either. But are these folks right in their blanket condemnations of the father of classical philosophy? Augustine didn't think so--and the Pugsters agree with him. Tune in and find out why!
