I read Plato’s Ion this morning. A magnificent depiction of the creative life— a sort of divine madness that brings others into our divine madness, too. Creators of vessels to communicate God’s beauty, nothing more or less. Have you read it recently? If not, worth a re read.

There's a great discussion of this question in Plato's Ion, well worth reading together with Allan Bloom's commentary. I covered it with some students on Sunday.
