Plato had a profound influence on Western political and scientific thought, for as Alfred North Whitehead said, "All western philosophy consists of footnotes to Plato." His works cover various subjects like education, ethics, epistemology, mathematics, metaphysics, natural science, politics, and philosophy. Included among them are Laws; "I can show you that the art of calculation has to do with odd and even numbers in their numerical relations to themselves and to each other." Parmenides; "You cannot conceive the many without the one."

Aristotle The Republic , and, next to his account of Socrates's trial, The Apology The Republic is one of the single most influential works in Western philosophy. Essentially, it deals with the central problem of how to live a good life; this inquiry is shaped into the parallel questions (a) what is justice in the State, or what would an ideal State be like, and (b) what is a just individual? Naturally these questions also encompass many others, such as how the citizens of a state should be educated, what kinds of arts should be encouraged, what form its government should take, who should do the governing and for what rewards, what is the nature of the soul, and finally what (if any) divine sanctions and afterlife should be thought to exist. The dialogue, then, covers just about every aspect of Plato's thought. There are several central aspects to the dialogue that sum up Platonic thought extremely well: a.) what the nature of justice is; b.) the nature of an ideal republic; and c.) the allegory of the cave and the divided line, both of which explain Plato's theory of forms. The Nature of Justice . The question which opens this immense dialogue is: what is justice? Several inadequate definitions are put forward, but the most emphatically presented definition is given by a young Sophist, Thrasymachus. He defines justice as whatever the strongest decide it is, and that the strong decide that whatever is in their best interest is just (review again the Athenian position in

Plato (Greek: Plátōn , "broad") (428/427 BC [a] – 348/347 BC), was a Classical Greek philosopher mathematician , writer of philosophical dialogues, and founder of the Platonic Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the western world. Along with his mentor, Socrates , and his student, Aristotle , Plato helped to lay the foundations of Western philosophy Plato was originally a student of Socrates, and was as much influenced by his thinking as by what he saw as his teacher's unjust death. Plato's sophistication as a writer is evident in his Socratic dialogues ; thirty-five dialogues and thirteen letters have traditionally been ascribed to him, although modern scholarship doubts the authenticity of at least some of these.

His presence survives through his written philosophical/dramatic compositions which are preserved in manuscripts recovered and edited in many different editions and translations since the birth of the Humanist movement. The written corpus of Plato consists almost entirely of dialogues epigrams and letters . All the known dialogues of Plato survive, however modern-day standard editions of his oeuvre generally contain dialogues considered by the consensus of scholars to be either suspect (e.g., Alcibiades , Clitophon) or probably spurious (such as Demodocus , or the Second Alcibiades). The personage of Socrates often makes an appearance in the dialogues of Plato though it is unclear how much of the content and argument of any given dialogue is Socrates' point of view, and how much of it Plato's. There is a prominent crater on the Moon named the Plato crater , in his honor.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... P > Plato and Platonism Plato and Platonism Life of Plato Plato ( Platon , "the broad shouldered ") was born at Athens in 428 or 427 B.C. He came of an aristocratic and wealthy family , although some writers represented him as having felt the stress of poverty . Doubtless he profited by the educational facilities afforded young men of his class at Athens . When about twenty years old he met Socrates , and the intercourse, which lasted eight or ten years, between master and pupil was the decisive influence in Plato's philosophical career. Before meeting Socrates he had, very likely, developed an interest in the earlier philosophers , and in schemes for the betterment of political conditions at Athens . At an early age he devoted himself to poetry. All these interests , however, were absorbed in the pursuit of wisdom to which, under the guidance of Socrates , he ardently devoted himself. After the death of Socrates he joined a group of the Socratic disciples gathered at Megara under the leadership of Euclid. Later he travelled in Egypt , Magna Graecia , and Sicily . His profit from these journeys has been exaggerated by some biographers. There can, however, be no

27. Negation In Greek: Plato, Sophist | Philosophy In Ancient Greece | Domenico Paci Domenico Pacitti argues that plato has not refuted Parmenides on negation in this dialogue. http://www.pacitti.org/books_00199105.htm

About Articles Books Contact ... Reviews Sophist N egation in Ancient Greek Philosophy: P lato, Sophist Domenico Pacitti (1991) [The Greek text on this web page is best viewed on WindowsXP or later.] The Sophist aims explicitly to refute . It is here in his final theory of forms that, in addition to the thesis of the intermingling or intercommunion, four forms are shown to run through all the rest: being, one, same and other. Furthermore, recalling our negative-affirmative asymmetries, this intercommunion of forms has been shown convincingly by Ackrill (1957) in his analysis of the occurrence of and to be asymmetrical. The following important observations emerge: The same thing can both be and not be (256a); Nonbeing is not the opposite of being (257b); Nonbeing is divided into parts (257c); Each part of nonbeing is as real and definite as the parts of any other form (257d); Nonbeing itself as a form is no less real than any other form (258b). In the interests of greater clarity I quote key passages in the original Greek which correspond to these five observations respectively. Each passage is followed by my interpretive summary of Plato's arguments as they culminate in respect of each of these five points.

Brian Taylor Web Site Developer Search Engine Promoter SEO Search Engine Optimization Website Promotion ( 427-347 B.C. ) Socrates Plato Aristotle Pi 3.14 ... Problems Plato's Life If Thales was the first of all the great Greek philosophers, Plato must remain the best known of all the Greeks. The original name of this Athenian aristocrat was Aristocles, but in his school days he received the nickname "Platon" (meaning "broad") because of his broad shoulders. Although, he is not the only great man to be known universally by a nickname; the Roman orator Cicero is another. Plato was born in Athens, about 427 B.C., and died there about 347 B.C. In early life Plato saw war service and had political ambitions. However, he was never really sympathetic to the Athenian democracy and he could not join wholeheartedly in its government. He was a devoted follower of Socrates, whose disciple he became in 409 B.C., and the execution of that philosopher by the democrats in 399 B.C. was a crushing blow. He left Athens, believing that until "kings were philosophers or philosophers were kings" things would never go well with the world. (He traced his descent from the early kings of Athens and perhaps he had himself in mind.) For several years he visited the Greek cities of Africa and Italy, absorbing Pythagorean notions, and then in 387 B.C. he returned to Athens. (En route, he is supposed to have been captured by pirates and held for ransom.) There, the second half of his long life, he devoted himself to philosophy. In the western suburbs he founded a school that might be termed the first university. Because it was on the grounds that had once belonged to a legendary Greek called Academus, it came to be called the Academy, and this term has been d for schools ever since.

Plato is probably one of the greatest philosophers of all times, if not the greatest. Yet, he was one of the first philosophers, at least in the western philosophical tradition that was born in Greece a few hundred years BC., and anyway he is the first one whose complete works are still available to us. But if we have more than we would bargain for in terms of writings attributed to Plato, as some of the dialogues and letters transmitted to us under his name are obviously not his, we have very little data on his life and literary activity. As a result, many conflicting theories have been developed by scholars of various times regarding the interpretation of Plato's dialogues and their chronology to the extent it bears on that interpretation. This set of pages intends to present a new theory on the interpretation of Plato's dialogues and "philosophy".

PLATO originated in the early 1960's at the Urbana campus of the University of Illinois. Professor Don Bitzer became interested in using computers for teaching, and with some colleagues founded the Computer-based Education Research Laboratory (CERL). Bitzer, an electrical engineer, collaborated with a few other engineers to design the PLATO hardware. To write the software, he collected a staff of creative eccentrics ranging from university professors to high school students, few of whom had any computer background. Together they built a system that was at least a decade ahead of its time in many ways. PLATO is a timesharing system. (It was, in fact, one of the first timesharing systems to be operated in public.)

Plato From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Platinum) Next (Platonic Academy) Plato Plato (c. 428 B.C.E. – c. 348 B.C.E. ) was a Greek philosopher and is perhaps the most famous and influential thinker in the history of Western thought. He was a student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle . He founded the Academy in Athens where he lectured and taught. He also wrote dialogues on a variety of philosophical subjects such as metaphysics epistemology ethics , psychology, politics, and aesthetics . Because he wrote in dialogue rather than treatise form, however, his ideas on these subjects are not systematically analyzed but presented in the more ambiguous and ironic form of the drama. This has resulted in a variety of interpretations of Plato’s work and debates continue today over the precise meanings of his main philosophical ideas. Among the most famous of his philosophical contributions are the accounts he provides of his teacher Socrates and the Socratic method of teaching, his doctrine of the Ideas or “forms,” his theory of recollection, and his notion of dialectic as collection and division. His Republic remains one of the classic works in all of western civilization Contents Biography Dialogue as a Philosophical Form Chronology Early dialogues ...

40. Plato. To plato society was to break down to those few who were to be the philosopher kings, and the rest of us, who were to be treated like labouring beasts of the field. http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Philosophy/Plato.htm

Plato (427-348 BC) Plato was born in Athens. Coming from a noble family, he aspired to a political career, but soon became upset with the "tyrannic democracy" of Athens, especially when it put his teacher, Socrates (469-399 BC) to death. Plato "turned to philosophy in search of an alternative to the stable and unjust public life of the time. He also sought unity behind the changing impressions of the visible universe." In Athens, Plato, eventually set up a school known as the Academy. Plato believed that there was another world beyond this changeable and destructible one in which we live, one consisting of unchanging eternal Forms. He asserted that what we see and touch are only very distantly related to the ultimate realities that exist. He gives, in his work the Republic , the famous comparison of the human condition with that of prisoners chained facing the inner wall of a cave, so that all they can see are mere shadows of objects in the cave, knowing nothing of the world outside. An example of one of the ultimate realities is Euclidean geometry with its theorems concerning ideal objects that do not and cannot exist in the three dimensional world in which we live, ideal objects such as straight lines without thickness and perfect circles, and other such timeless objects. And just as there are no perfect circles in this world we can not have morally perfect men, no absolutely perfect examples of courage or justice; we can only imagine perfectly moral standards. Drawing a distinct line of demarcation between the Ideal and the actual world, defines the "dualist." Such a belief does not define a religionist, but such a philosophy lends itself to a religious interpretation that the soul, or mind, is a non-material entity which can exist apart from the body of man, and that the soul is immaterial and immortal; - divine worship soon ensues. Though Plato does not go into any definitive statements on the subject of religion
