Plato and Confucius, Spiritual Brothers and Philosopher Kings Living at Two Ends of the World Island
In this Rising Tide Foundation lecture, Dr. Quan Le breaks the commonly held belief that the west and east are organized by two fundamentally opposing paradigms of Confucian pragmatism on the one side in opposition to Platonic idealism on the other.
Dr. Le does this by introducing the individuals and philosophies of both great men who lived at a similar time in world history, amidst similar geopolitical circumstances and endowed with identical missions to break their societies out of self-destructive cycles with a focus on the creation of philosopher kings shaped by the love of wisdom more than the love of personal advantage.
