Hermes and Plato is a philosophical book written by Edouard Schure that explores the relationship between the ancient Greek god Hermes and the philosopher Plato. The book delves into the similarities between the two figures, such as their shared interest in the pursuit of knowledge and the importance of communication. Schure examines how Hermes, the messenger god, was seen as a mediator between the divine and mortal worlds, while Plato sought to bridge the gap between reality and the world of ideas. The author also explores the influence of Hermes on Plato's philosophy, particularly in his concept of the soul and his belief in the existence of a higher reality beyond the physical world. Through this analysis, Schure offers a unique perspective on the connection between mythology and philosophy, and how these two disciplines have influenced each other throughout history. Overall, Hermes and Plato is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between ancient Greek mythology and philosophy.Translated by R. Rothwell.
