ON PLATO’S CONCEPT OF THE ‘GOOD’ AND ON ST. PAUL’S CONCEPT OF ‘AGAPE’

As a complementary addition to my previous report of November 15, 2020, I present, here, briefly, the essentials of Plato’s doctrine of the Good (Agathos) and its epistemological unity with St. Paul’s idea of Love of Mankind (Agape), which I dedicate to my family and friends in Canada for the coming Christmas holiday.

Agathos, meaning “the Good”, is Plato’s eternal and changeless form of perfection, which exists completely outside of physical space-time as a pure and ideal source or cause of all human benefits. Agape, meaning “love of mankind,” is St. Paul’s axiomatic principle of change, representing the source of perfection of all human development in physical space-time. Can those two principles of no-change and of change be connected and brought together as a single unified principle for the purpose of securing a New Just World Economic Order at this present axiomatic moment of history?
