The Perseus Project, based at Tufts University,
is an evolving digital library, engineering

sources for the study of the humanities will
strengthen the quality of questions, lead to new
avenues of research, and connect more people
through the connection of ideas. Gregory Crane is
Editor in Chief.

Plato and his Dialogues

"... one the most

is that, if Plato wrote dialogues rather than
philosophy treatises, ...it is because his purpose
was not to tell his readers what he himself
thought, ...but to teach them to think by
themselves so that they could find their own
answers ..." The site
Plato and his Dialogues is

Revista internacional de Arte - Cultura

"La Revista SYMBOLOS aparece desde 1991... Con

Si bien la revista asume la idea de una
Tradición primigenia y universal de la que
las distintas tradiciones han derivado, sin embargo
su vinculación más específica
es con la herencia auspiciada por el dios Hermes,
como exponente de lo que es Occidente, manifestada
en Platón y el Neoplatonismo, la
Aritmosofía Pitagórica, la Ciencia y
el Arte de Construir, Alquimia, Cábala
cristiana, etc.
La Revista SYMBOLOS no tiene nada que ver con
ninguna religión o secta de cualquier tipo
ni responde a ninguna ideología."
