The Hemlock Appreciation Society is a long-running project initiated by the author and several of his colleagues the purpose of which is to bring together, in a spirit of cordial association, those of us who love and value the Platonic philosophical tradition. Since some time around the XVIIIth century, there has been little so entirely out of phase as the Divine Plato. The entire edifice of modernity is exactly anti-Platonic. There are those of us who remain determined to see things differently. The Society meets on a casual and occasional basis, usually over food and ale, to discuss the woes of the world through the ever-perspicuous lens of the dialogues of Plato and related texts. Presently, membership to the Society is by invitation only.
On this page readers can find so-called "meme" resources on Platonic themes. Please feel free to download the same and to repost to the social media outlet of your choice. Return links to Out of Phase are greatly appreciated.
Please note that the Hemlock Appreciation Society has no relation whatsoever to an organisation called the 'Hemlock Society' which was devoted to promoting euthanasia. As far as we know that organisation is no longer active or no longer uses that name.
