Plato: Knowledge and Ultimate Truth – The Consequences of Ideas with R.C. Sproul

Summary

This sermon explores Plato's epistemology, particularly his theory of recollection and the distinction between opinion and knowledge. It highlights Plato's concept of innate ideas (a priori knowledge) as contrasted with knowledge gained through experience (a posteriori knowledge), drawing parallels to Christian belief in an innate sense of God and conscience. The takeaway is to critically examine our sources of knowledge, recognizing that true understanding may require looking beyond sensory experience.
