Steve Fleming, LDS Scholar on Plato and Joseph Smith
My friend Clark Goble led me to the blog "The Juvenile Instructor" recently, and it is owned and operated by Steve Fleming. He has a very interesting series of articles where he is saying Plato might have had a stronger influence on Joseph Smith than is normally supposed. I think the discussion is interesting and will add comments as I have time. I think, however, I disagree with him more than agree, due to the Mormon assumptions he may be reserving in the comparisons. Fleming appears to me to be a very intelligent person, which we need more of in this subject. It's a great find!
