Plato's Theology.

1t is difficult TO say what idea Plato
had of the Deity. The best scholars
in the world have been trying TO settle
the question for centuries without
having reached anything like an agree
ment. But it is clear that he believed
in q supreme power and intelligence.
which he seems to make Synonymous
with wisdom" and goodness"
Whether he considered the Deity to
be personal or ''impersonal' it Is
impossible TO say. Plato taught the
doctrine of future retribution and ex.
onerates God from all responsibility
for physical and moral evil. New
