Plato the Philosopher

Plato was a philosopher born in Athens (470 - 390 BC), a student of Socrates. He feels that wisdom and self-perception belong to a completely independent field or reality. He believes that the general concept of knowledge exists in the soul or even in life before it is destined or born. Plato believes that the universe is understandable and the universe is mathematically understandable. He believes mathematical objects can be seen as a perfect form.

Plato has three important philosophies. Kindness, truth and beauty, and desire for eternal life. These important terms can be used to indicate Diotima's love signs. Plato's first philosophical point of view is kindness. When Socrates talked about the teachings of love of Diotima, he used a kind of ratio, that is, beauty is beautiful, and every male wants to be beautiful because it is very good. What does he want when a man loves beauty? "I answered her," Beauty may be him. "But," she said, "The answer casts another doubt: What will you give to beauty?" It's a problem for you, "I replied. The answer is not ready. "And you can put the word" good "in a beautiful place and repeat the question once again. If you love what you love, what does he love? I said. "What did he get and what did he have?" I am happy. (Symposium)

As I mentioned in the devout analysis of Plato's Euthyphro, Greek philosophers Plato and Socrates are often undetectable and compatible in their contribution to their philosophical theory. When you read their thoughts and sentences, you can think of these ideas and thought experiments that were suggested mostly by two philosophers or two philosophers. In Plato Republic, Plato copied the dialogue between infamous Socrates and some of his followers. In the dialogue, Socrates was given the task of creating a perfect city. Most of the written content is actually Plato's view on utopian society, but the lecturer is called Socrates and is a famous philosopher of Greek society.

Socrates' student Plato is traditionally thought to be the best source of philosopher life and work, but many scholars are hard to distinguish between the philosophical views of Plato and Socrates, and the lives of Socrates I emphasized that it is more difficult to describe accurately. For that reason, some people think that Xenophon is a more reliable source of information about Socrates as a historical figure. Plato and Xenophon are the main source of Socrates private life. From their writings, the famous ancient Greek philosopher was born in the masonry (or sculptor) Sophroniscus and his midwife his wife Phaenarete. He spent his life in Athens, but his early life has little detail. It is said that he was relatively late to marry Xanthippe, participating in the Peloponnesus War (431 - 04 BC), and Xanthippe was much younger than he. She gave him three sons - Lamprocles, Sophroniscus and Menexenus
