Abstract
The philosophy of plato had a strong impact on the development of Western thought and the evolution of Western culture. His ideas were influential with Christian thinkers in the third and fourth centuries and with European philosophers in the Renaissance and after.This paper will examine plato's understanding of the nature of Erōs, desire and madness, and physical sexuality, and will examine plato's theories of the relation of these experiences to spiritual development. For plato, that spiritual development consisted of a form of human ascension to the level of the Forms, or divine templates of good.
