K Platónově Ústavě v kontextu spirituální teologie Michal Altrichter

Abstract

The text commenting on Plato´s Republic in the context of spiritual theology reflects the current state of critical studies of Plato´s Politeia and situates it to the context of spiritual theology. It makes use of the methodology of topic genesis and prefers pure Plato´s message to the analysis of interpretations of various schools in the history of Christian spirituality. It emphasizes spiritual mood of the contemporary human being in relation to recurring problems that are similar to those in Plato´s times: the spiritual ontology is prior to the political situation. The author of the text tries to connect the basic ontology of Plato to political descriptions. He avoids the evaluation of „anomalies“ intentionally, such as the communism of women, etc., because commenting on such particulars could conceal real Plato´s contribution to the history of spirituality.
