Here is the first edition of a short primer on the Platonic idea of paradigmatic causality (emanation). It aims to explain the intuitions surrounding and underlying Platonic theories of causality, rather than articulate a complete theoretical argument for any one of those theories. It is not an academic work, though it is not wholly untechnical.
Hopefully it is helpful for someone trying to understand the beauty of Platonism. Any suggestions for improvement are appreciated. It was simply a labor of love (and to improve my philosophical writing, including work ethic), written over the course of maybe a week, a few pages each evening. As such, it is limited. But there aren't nearly enough short introductions to Platonism that actually get to the heart of the matter. Thus I justify my expenditure.
