Plato
Definition: Greek
philosopher whose famous teacher was Socrates. Plato's
Dialogues preserve for us the philosophy of both
Socrates and Plato, as it is sometimes difficult to tell the
two apart. Plato wrote many great works, including the
Republic, a blueprint for the ideal form of
government. He began the famous Academy in Athens, together
with his famous disciple, Aristotle.
