Does the philosopher Plato anticipate the teachings of the reformer Martin Luther?
In a certain way, yes. Both agree that virtue or righteousness is one; both believe that attaining virtue in this life is unteachable; and both believe that one must be virtuous before doing acts of virtue; and both believe that a divine dispensation can teach virtue; and lastly, both believe that a conversion needs to happen to be virtuous, to leave Plato's gave or to receive Christ through the righteousness of faith (Luther). If you listen to the end, I recommend six books to read to understand this topic further.
