Baron and Trevor explore Plato's understanding of the soul in this episode. They describe Plato's proposed anatomy of the soul, but, more importantly, they discuss Plato's argument for how a properly oriented soul can live a happy and balanced life. Drawing from Scripture and psychological theory, Baron and Trevor show how Plato's views shed light on what it looks like to live a fulfilled life of joy and virtue.
