Philosophy, in Plato’s reasoning, would be a posture of deep and non-manipulative questioning of objectively put data or that the use of reason could not be imposed secluded from an experience of life. Philosopher is a man who is game in the pursuit and practice of virtue, of Good and of the One; search for unity as human integration, not content only with its multiplicity as a being. Chesterton, in spite of not being a philosopher, approaches to Plato by affirming that the integral man must perceive its transcendent reality and not merely material.

Platonic heritage echoes in Chesterton through Christian heritage, and his intent seems to be a Christian apology for the recovery of the entirety of man, which had been fragmented by modern conquests
