About Plato
Plato (c. 427–347 BCE) was an influential ancient Greek philosopher, student of Socrates, and teacher of Aristotle. He founded the Academy in Athens, one of the earliest institutions of higher learning in the Western world, and wrote numerous dialogues exploring themes such as justice, beauty, and equality. His works, including "The Republic" and "The Symposium," laid the foundational principles of Western philosophy and political theory.
