Plato (427/428–347/348 BCE) was a renowned ancient Greek philosopher and student of Socrates. He founded the Academy in Athens, the first known institution of higher learning. Plato's writings, presented as dialogues, cover diverse topics including philosophy, politics, and ethics. His influential theory of forms suggests a higher reality beyond the physical world. Notable works include "The Republic," where he outlines his vision of an ideal society governed by philosopher-kings. Plato's ideas have profoundly shaped Western philosophy and continue to be studied today.
