The Republic — Page 5
The two philosophers had more in common than they were conscious of; and probably some elements of Plato remain still undetected in Aristotle.
Os dois filósofos tinham mais em comum do que tinham consciência; e provavelmente alguns elementos de Platão permanecem ainda não detectados em Aristóteles.
In English philosophy too, many affinities may be traced, not only in the works of the Cambridge Platonists, but in great original writers like Berkeley or Coleridge, to Plato and his ideas.
Na filosofia inglesa também, muitas afinidades podem ser traçadas, não apenas nas obras dos Platônicos de Cambridge, mas em grandes escritores originais como Berkeley ou Coleridge, com Platão e suas ideias.

Que existe uma verdade superior à experiência, da qual a mente dá testemunho a si mesma, é uma convicção que em nossa própria geração foi afirmada com entusiasmo, e que talvez esteja ganhando terreno.
Of the Greek authors who at the Renaissance brought a new life into the world Plato has had the greatest influence.

Como Dante ou Bunyan, ele tem uma revelação de outra vida; como Bacon, ele está profundamente impressionado com a unidade do conhecimento; na Igreja primitiva exerceu uma influência real sobre a teologia, e no Renascimento da Literatura sobre a política.
Even the fragments of his words when 'repeated at second-hand' (Symp. 215 D) have in all ages ravished the hearts of men, who have seen reflected in them their own higher nature.
Mesmo os fragmentos de suas palavras quando 'repetidos em segunda mão' (Symp. 215 D) em todas as épocas arrebataram os corações dos homens, que viram neles refletida a sua própria natureza superior.
