PlatoÆs Dialogues

The subject of learning, virtue, and knowledge are the focus of the Euthyphro, the Apology, and the Meno. Using the dialectic manner of discourse and exchange, Socrates expresses PlatoÆs views on the nature of piety and impiety in the Euthyphro; the nature of being true to oneÆs passion in the Apology; and the question of whether or not virtue can be taught in the Meno. In all three of these dialogues, Socrates illustrates that the nature of true knowledge often remains elusive, that it can only be truly known once the soul is freed from the body, and that the pursuit of it (i.e. the good) through philosophy while alive is the only thing that approximates happiness or wisdom.

Schmemann (1965), in Sacraments and Orthodoxy, maintains that whether we are awake or asleep in Christ, the ultimate reality of the life of the world is something that is always just beyond the reach of human capability: ôWhether we spiritualize our life or secularize our religion, whether we invite men to a spiritual banquet or simply join them at the secular one, the real life of the world, for which we are told God gave his only begotten Son, remains hopelessly beyond our graspö (13).
