Platonism Plato , in his dialogue Phaedrus dialogue Phaedrus sections 246a 254e , uses the Chariot Allegory to explain his view of the human Soul spirit soul . He does this in the dialogue through the character of Socrates , who uses it in a discussion of the merit of Love as divine madness .

Journey Plato describes a great circuit which souls make as they follow the gods in the path of enlightenment. Those few souls which are fully enlightened are able to see the world of the forms in all its glory. Some souls have difficulty controlling the black horse, even with the help of the white horse. They may bob up into the world of the forms, but at other times enlightenment is hidden from them. If overcome by the black horse or forgetfulness, the soul loses its wings and is pulled down to earth. Should that happen, the soul is incarnated ...
