We do not know whether Plato himself was personally an ascetic; and in many of his dialogues ... he comes near the conventional Greek notion of bodily pleasure. Nor, though in his more radical moments he equates body, matter, and evil, does he ever suggest liberating the soul by suicide. Slavation rests on a life as little physical, as much spiritual, as possible. This is a pedestrian, and to the follower of Plato misleading, formula for what Plato puts into very beautiful words; it brings out how far Plato had gone, not merely from the man in the street, but from the conventions and ideals of the great culture.
