Perhaps you misunderstand or don't yet understand him.

Plato begins his last work, the Laws, with a most profound question. The Athenian walks with two friends from Knossos and the question is raised, where do the laws come from, a god or a man. If you think that is fruity business, I'll just have to pray for you.

[what's up]

What's fruity is the perfect society which should be ruled by philosopher-kings. An airy-fairy way of looking at life on earth.

I think Jefferson and Adams were right.

Great that Plato believed in God. But that doesn't make him centered in all his philosophy. Jim Bakker believes in God too.

A bit too deep for my muddy clarity this day.

But, as a not so well read non philosopher, I have always believed the answer to this question to be God, man and both.

I believe guidance came from the spiritual God yet man's influence is still profound in the making of law.

I also believe that man has a tendency to complicate everything beyond comprehension. These philosophers are a great example of that human failing.(with the exception of Jesus)
