How is our theology informing our philosophy? Or perhaps that is too abstract. To mimic our friend and mentor John Mark, What does Jesus have to do with Plato? I ask this question for the sake of integrity, because I used to have two blogs. One was "Christian" and "devotional." The second was "Platonic" and "musical." Both I believe had shadowy inklings, however right or wrong, of Truth Himself and His creation.
This seems to be the start of a "Christian Platonist" language. How much of a "Christian Platonist" language have you developed since participating in the Torrey Honors Institute and becoming a member at graduation? Who else is developing such a language?
If indeed the kosmos was made through and for Christ, with spiritual, intelligible, and sensible dimensions, it seems we must cultivate a language particular to our lives which has unity, just as Plato seems to communicate a unified and consistent kosmos through words in any particular dialogue.
We seem to be a rare breed.
