Description: [APh] [Comment] In many of his dialogues, Plato claims that our highest good is to be like God. Although this claim seems implausible, we can make greater sense of it if we interpret it through the lens of the Stoic version of likeness to God as found in texts such as Cicero's « De finibus » and Seneca's « Letters to Lucilius ».
