Roamer, provocative and powerful; so permit reflection before a response.

Again permit a reflection to set a tone.
In my opinion, Plato remains the greatest Mind ever created by the Almighty, as he identified
and defined the Psyche (Soul) of Man, some 4 centuries before Christ and Roman Catholicism.
This Essence was the foundation and catalyst/driver for the religious/spiritual sensibilities that
permitted and fostered the creation/development of the cultures and societies of Europe.
As North Whitehead observed: "The massive European philosophical tradition consists of a series
of footnotes to the ideas birthed by Plato"
Unfortunately, in my judgement, the French Enlightenment changed that earlier 2,000-year
dynamic and emphatically for the worse, a reality we pay for every day, yet how???
Because the core of our sensibilities are now driven by materialism, effectively replacing
spiritualism, a reality that should be as obvious as 2+2=4.
Suggest any doubters take a serious look at the condition of our structured Religions.
