When looking at the question of the meaning of life, who else to consult on this difficult question but Plato, one of the most influential thinkers of all time? In this article we will explore what Plato thought about this eternal question and his remarkable solution in the face of doubt and corruption.<\/p>\n
Plato believed that the meaning of life was to be in tune with the universe. The Cosmos exists for a reason, and was created by the creator to embody his virtue and wisdom and as such it strives towards perfection. We\u2019re a small part of this large machine and our lives are meaningful when we move in tune with it. <\/strong><\/p>\n A meaningful life for Plato has two dimensions, ethical and political. We should first examine what being virtuous and a good citizen entails. Without these pillars, we will be misled on life\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n
