This compelling philosophical treatise by Michael Gottlieb Hansch explores the concept of Platonic enthusiasm, or the belief in the soul's return to the divine essence through philosophical contemplation. Drawing on the works of Plato and his followers, Hansch argues for the existence of a transcendent reality beyond the material world, and shows how this idea can be derived from the Platonic corpus in a clear and straightforward way. With an insightful introduction by the great German philosopher and polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, this book is an important contribution to our understanding of Platonic philosophy and its enduring relevance today.
