Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

God Doesn’t Philosophize

He doesn't need to.  We need to. But our neediness goes together with our inability to make any progress at it.  A double defect: need and inability.  The truth we need we cannot acquire by our own efforts.  It is this fact that motivates some philosophers to consider the possibility of divine revelation.  They can raise the question of revelation without quitting Athens.  See Blondel.
