En filosof sa en gång: "Det säkraste allmänna karakterisering av den europeiska filosofiska traditionen är att den består av en serie fotnoter till Platon". Platon är faktiskt anses vara den mest avgörande figurerar i utvecklingen av filosofi, tillsammans med sin lärare, Sokrates och hans elev Aristoteles.

Een filosoof zei ooit: "de veiligste algemene typering van de Europese filosofische traditie is dat het bestaat uit een reeks voetnoten bij Plato." Plato wordt immers beschouwd als de meest cruciale figuur in de ontwikkeling van de filosofie, samen met zijn leraar, Socrates, en zijn student, Aristoteles. Maar zijn geschriften zijn vaak licht, fris en grappig; Het was Plato die de dialoog in de filosofie, waarin een punt te maken zeer eenvoudig te volgen en ter gelegenheid van verschillende landschappelijke arrangementen uitgevonden.

Alfred North Whitehead once noted: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato". Plato is indeed considered the most pivotal figure in the development of philosophy, along with his teacher, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle. But his writings are often light, fresh and funny; it was Plato who invented the dialogue in philosophy, which makes a point very easy to follow and the occasion of various scenic arrangements.

Presents the famous Socratic dialogues as presented by his most noted disciple, Plato. Designed to encourage a discussion of age-old philosophical questions concerning the meaning of life and death. This is an abridged edition of the dialogues.

"The Republic" is a Socratic dialogue, written by Plato around 380 BC, concerning justice, the order and character of the just, city-state, and the just man. It is Plato's best-known work, and has proven to be one of the world's most influential works of philosophy and political theory, both intellectually and historically. In the book's dialogue, Socrates discusses the meaning of justice and whether or not the just man is happier than the unjust man with various Athenians and foreigners.

The Apology of Socrates, by Plato, is the dialogue that presents the speech of legal self-defense, which Socrates presented at his trial for impiety and corruption, in 399 BC. Specifically, The Apology of Socrates is a defense against the charges of “corrupting the youth” and “not believing in the same gods as the city, but in other gods which are novel” to Athens.

Pupil of the great Plato, teacher of Alexander the Great, Aristotle is a massively influential figure in Western philosophy. Cicero described his literary style as "a river of gold".

Aristotle also shaped modern logic, and put his mark on all subsequent philosophy and theology.

Socrates questions Ion, an actor who just won a major prize, about his ability to interpret the epic poetry of Homer. How does an actor, a poet, or any other artist create? Is it by knowing? Is it by inspiration? As the dialogue proceeds, the nature of human creativity emerges as a mysterious process and an unsolved puzzle.

The Apology is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defended himself in 399 BC against the charges of "corrupting the young, and by not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other daimonia that are novel". "Apology" here has its earlier meaning of speaking in defense of a cause or of one's beliefs or actions. The general term apology, in context to literature, defends a world from attack (opposite of satire-which attacks the world).
