Plato was the first and one of the best-known philosophers of the Western world. He was a student of the teacher Socrates, and he taught the equally great and influential philosopher Aristotle.
Plato's philosophies and concepts have been reviewed, mulled over, and heralded for a few thousand years. They can be complex and thought-provoking but are fascinating and, without any doubt, profound.
In book three of our series, Be A Great Thinker, we examine Plato's life and philosophies. We introduce Plato's sometimes surprising, often reflective, and incredibly thought-provoking ideas. You might question reality and the world you understand while delving deeper into Plato's thought process.
We look at what made Plato one of the greatest philosophers. We examine how he started his life, what formed his ideas, and what prompted him to follow in the footsteps of other great philosophers of his day. You will learn what makes him unique and essential and why he is known as the Father of Western Philosophy.
