作者简介

Plato ranks among the most familiar ancient philosophers, along with his teacher, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle. In addition to writing philosophical dialogues ― used to teach logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion, and mathematics as well as philosophy ― he founded Athens' Academy, the Western world's first institution of higher learning.
