In Plato's Laws is the earliest surviving fully developed
cosmological argument. His influence on the philosophy of religion
is wide ranging and this book examines both that and the influence
of religion on Plato. Central to Plato's thought is the theory of
forms, which holds that there exists a realm of forms, perfect
ideals of which things in this world are but imperfect copies. In
this book, originally published in 1959, Feibleman finds two
diverse strands in Plato's philosophy: an idealism centered upon
the Forms denying full ontological status to the realm of becoming,
and a moderate realism granting actuality equal reality with Forms.
For each strand Plato developed a conception of religion: a
supernatural one derived from Orphism, and a naturalistic religion
revering the traditional Olympian deities.
