Autoren-Porträt von Plato

Plato, one of the preeminent philosophers of ancient Greece, was born around 428/427 BCE and passed away circa 348/347 BCE. A student of Socrates and mentor to Aristotle, Plato's contributions to Western philosophy are immeasurable, having laid the groundwork for ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics. His dialogues, written as dramatic conversations, typically feature Socrates as a protagonist and cover a multitude of philosophical issues. One of his later works, 'Philebus', delves into the complex interplay between pleasure, wisdom, and the good life, indicating his evolving thoughts on ethical matters. Plato's literary style is as compelling as it is instructive, characterized by its clarity, elegance, and rigorous dialectics. His academy in Athens, often described as the first university, stood as a testament to his educational legacy and contributed to the dissemination of his philosophical paradigms for centuries to come. His body of work, including 'The Republic', 'Timaeus', and 'Symposium', continues to be studied for its profound impact on the formation of Western thought and its intricate portrayal of human nature and society.
