In this deep dive, we unravel one of the most intriguing controversies of ancient intellectual history: the alleged borrowing of ideas between Moses and Plato. While the ancients ardently believed and posited that Plato might have drawn inspiration from Moses, modern scholarship is turning the tables on this theory.
Some scholars now suggest that Moses, as portrayed in biblical narratives, might not be as ancient as traditionally believed. Could it be that the biblical authors were influenced by the Hellenistic world, including the philosophical titan, Plato? Join us as we sift through historical clues, analyze ancient texts, and engage with scholars to uncover the truth behind the improbable Moses-Plato controversy.
This journey promises to challenge what you thought you knew about two of history's most iconic figures. Dive in, and let's set the record straight!
