Plato
Plato was born into one of the wealthiest and most politically active families in Athens around 428 BC. He joined the circle surrounding Socrates around the age of twenty and left Athens after Socrates’ execution in 399 BC, traveling the Mediterranean world and teaching and learning.
Plato returned to Athens around 388 BC and established the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Along with his student Aristotle, who was another exceptional classical philosopher, he laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science.
The Republic, written around 380 BC, is Plato’s best-known work and is considered one of the most influential works of political theory and philosophy. It is widely regarded as the best introduction to his thought and contains many of his most important doctrines.
