About the author

Plato (Greek: Πλάτων), born Aristocles (c. 427 – 348 BC), was an ancient Greek philosopher of the Classical period who is considered a foundational thinker in Western philosophy and an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms. He raised problems for what became all the major areas of both theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Platonic Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the doctrines that would later become known as Platonism.
Plato's most famous contribution is the theory of forms (or ideas), which has been interpreted as advancing a solution to what is now known as the problem of universals. He was decisively influenced by the pre-Socratic thinkers Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, although much of what is known about them is derived from Plato himself.
Along with his teacher Socrates, and Aristotle, his student, Plato is a central figure in the history of philosophy. Plato's entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years—unlike that of nearly all of his contemporaries. Although their popularity has fluctuated, they have consistently been read and studied through the ages. Through Neoplatonism, he also greatly influenced both Christian and Islamic philosophy. In modern times, Alfred North Whitehead famously said: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato."

Reviews

[Abril]

Apología 1000/5 tremendo tremendo tremendo me declaro fana de Sócrates y fana de Platón, viva Cristina, viva Perón.

Elijo creer que El Banquete de Platón es Exist for love de Aurora y ya.

Vamos a decir que Fedro me acompaño en un momento de oscuridad total (Platón cortaste toda la luz) y lo banco pero no es mi fav.

[Samuel Velasco]

One of the less clear and more verbose of Plato's dialogues. Great from a literary standpoint. The dramatic parts are unforgettable. It is the only dialogue that occurs outside of the city, in the fields around Athens.
