Excerpt from The Theology of Plato, Compared With the Principles of Oriental and Grecian Philosophers
Questions that "come home to the bosoms of men," are proposed and examined in the writings of Plato; theories that originate in the most refined ingenuity, and that indicate the deepest research, are by him explained and illustrated; difficulties that stagger the timid inquirer, and sometimes overpower his intellect, are in many cases successfully obviated; and, in the course of various and complicated disquisition, philosophical discernment is embellished by the elegance of attic composition, and by the resources of the richest and most copious imagination.
I propose to exemplify these observations in the present essay, by an examination of the Platonic doctrines on subjects that are at the same time the most intricate, and most difficult of solution; as these may fall to be considered in the various departments of theology.
