Plato |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The ancient Greek philosopher Plato developed the notion of a higher reality that exists beyond the powers of human comprehension. Plato explained that the idea of absolute goodness transcends human description. Other philosophers then applied this concept, known as transcendence, to describe the unknowable reality of God. | ||||||
