Offers the first sustained modern investigation of Plato's theology. A central thesis of the book is that Plato had a theology - not just a mythology for the ideal city, not just the theory of forms or the theory of cosmic souls, but also, irreducible to any of these, an account of God as Nous (Reason), the source of rational order both to souls and the world of bodies.
