Synopsis: "The Greek thinker Plato (428-348 BCE) speaks trenchantly to us today about twenty-first century barbarism," writes author Norman D. Livergood in the introduction to Rediscovering Plato and the Mystical Science of Dialectic. "No other single thinker offers us the weapons to defeat contemporary oppression and ignorance. "A demonic cabal has seized power and imposed a fascistic dictatorship on the United States," writes Livergood. "It is only when teachings like Plato's dialogues become current again in the West that we will be able to rise above barbarity and depravity to a more enlightened existence. "Not only can Plato teach us how to withstand a constant barrage of propagandized power-plays, but Plato also provides esoteric Perennialist instructions for realizing our spiritual potential, which is even more important than struggling against despotism and benightedness. Plato helps us to rescue ourselves not only from political-economic-religious tyrants, but also from our own tyrannies: our mindless self-indulgence, our acquiescence to ignorance and self-satisfaction."
