    Plato

    Plato (aprox. 424-327 BC), a student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, is commonly regarded as the centermost figure of Western philosophy. During the Classical period of Ancient Greece he was based in Athens where he founded his Academy and created the Platonist school of thought. His works are among the most influential in Western history, commanding interest and challenging readers of every era and background since they were composed.

    • 3/5
      Less interesting than the Apology.
    • 5/5
      Poetic and fervent in nature. It is such a shame that this breaks off in a fragment. Still, short and sweet.
