Plato - Philosophical Works (36 books)

PLATO (ca. 424 - 347 BCE) was a philosopher, as well as mathematician, in ancient Greece. He was a student of Socrates and founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Along with Socrates and his most-famous student, Aristotle, Plato was one of the shapers of the whole intellectual tradition of the West. Alfred North Whitehead once noted that "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato."
