A Theological Analysis: Platos Opposition to Atheism in Book X of The Laws
This paper will focus on Plato's Laws, and help us to learn how he refutes atheism in his dialogue with Cleinias in Book X. By observing the ideas of the Soul, and the possibilities that the mind offers, we can see that there is a hierarchy of Soul matter that connects mankind with the God's or the Creator. Plato refutes atheism by defining and acknowledging the lack of virtue in godlessness.
