Autorenporträt
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher and a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, born around 427 BCE in Athens. A student of Socrates, he founded the Academy, one of the earliest institutions of higher learning in the Western world. Plato's work encompasses a wide range of topics, including ethics, politics, metaphysics, and epistemology. His literary contributions are primarily in the form of dialogues, where philosophical ideas are presented through conversations between characters. Notable works include ""The Republic,"" which discusses justice and the ideal state, ""Symposium,"" exploring love and beauty, and ""Phaedo,"" addressing the immortality of the soul. ""Statesman"" delves into the qualities and responsibilities of a true statesman. In it, Plato distinguishes between genuine leadership and mere political maneuvering. Plato's influence extends beyond philosophy; his ideas have shaped Western thought, science, and political theory for centuries. His exploration of the ideal state and the nature of justice remains relevant, inspiring countless discussions on ethics and governance.
