Plato

Plato (428/427 or 424/423 – 348/347 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher who was the student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle. His work is fundamental to Western philosophy and science. Plato's most famous work is the Republic, which details a wise society run by a philosopher.

Life

Plato was born to an aristocratic family in Athens. His father, Ariston, was believed to be descended from the early kings of Athens. Perictione, his mother, was related to the 6th century BC lawmaker Solon.

Works

Plato's dialogues have been used to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, and mathematics. His lasting themes include Platonic love, the theory of forms, the five regimes, innate knowledge, among others.

Philosophy

Plato's philosophy is a direct response to the unsettling period of the Peloponnesian War. His works reflect his philosophy of the world, knowledge, and the human condition.

Theory of Forms

Plato's Theory of Forms asserts that non-physical forms represent the most accurate reality.

Platonic Love

Platonic love is a type of love that is non-sexual.

Legacy

Plato's work has been influential in the development of philosophy, most notably in the works of his student, Aristotle.
