Plato’s Academy Mosaic from Pompeii
This is the site of the podcast and transcripts for The Ideal in the West. The aim in doing this project is to bring to people all over the world an appreciation not only of the philosophical tradition of the Ideal, but also the realization that it is not an abstract theory–it is the underlying Reality and the source of all love, beauty and beneficence.
This will be an intellectual adventure and a spiritual travelogue–no prior experience required. Click on the links above to access the pages. I have turned off the comments, but feel free to write me at dabeardsley at ideographmedia dot com.
