Plato (c. 427-347 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher whose ideas have profoundly shaped Western thought. A student of Socrates and teacher to Aristotle, Plato's dialogues explore fundamental questions of ethics, politics, and metaphysics. His most famous works, including "The Republic," "The Symposium," and "Phaedo," delve into concepts such as justice, love, and the nature of reality. Through his establishment of the Academy in Athens, Plato laid the groundwork for the study of philosophy as a discipline. His enduring legacy reflects his profound influence on philosophy, education, and the quest for knowledge.
