The quest for Self-knowledge, or love of wisdom is the central theme of Greek philosophy and Upanisadic tradition. Prof. Nicholas Kazanas discusses in this paper some apparent similarities, as well as fundamental differences between the Upanisadic teachings and the Platonic dialogues on Soul, body, desire, education, reincarnation, etc. His discussion is quite scholarly and readable.
