Plato was an Athenian philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, founder of the Platonist school of thought, and the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. He is widely considered the pivotal figure in the history of Ancient Greek and Western philosophy, along with his teacher, Socrates, and his most famous student, Aristotle. Plato has also often been cited as one of the founders of Western religion and spirituality

Plato is one of the great theorists of relationships. His book, The Symposium, is an attempt to explain what love really is. It tells the story of a dinner party given by Agathon, a handsome poet, who invites a group of his friends around to eat, drink and talk about love. Anselm Feuerbach, The Symposium, 1874. The guests all have different views about what love is. Plato gives his old friend Socrates – one of the main characters in this and all his books – the most useful and interesting theory. It goes like this: when you fall in love, what’s really going on is that you have seen in another.

Plato Ancient Greek Philosophy - Famous Philosophers - Plato (429 - 347 . On Philosophy, Metaphysics of Plato and the importance of philosophy to humanity. Plato quotes (The Republic), pictures and biography. The society we have described can never grow into a reality or see the light of day, and there will be no end to the troubles of states, or indeed, my dear Glaucon, of humanity itself, till philosophers are kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus. The philosopher is in love with truth, that is, not with the changing world of sensation, which is the object of opinion, but with the unchanging reality which is the object of knowledge.

In his Symposium, he wrote about a dinner party at which Aristophanes, a comic playwright, regales the guests with the following story. Humans were once creatures with four arms, four legs, and two faces. One day they angered the gods, and Zeus sliced them all in two. Since then, every person has been missing half of him or herself. Love is the longing to find a soul mate who will make us feel whole agai. r at least that’s what Plato believed a drunken comedian would say at a party.

The dining philosophers problem is a classic concurrency problem dealing with synchronization. Gather round and I'll tell you how it goes: Five philosophers are sitting at a table. Now, each philosopher has two forks: left fork and right fork. The dining philosophers problem is: how do you make sure every Swanson gets to eat? Deadlock. Don't get me wrong, I love Swansons. But damn they are competitive. As soon as I told them to start eating, every Swanson grabbed a fork: And then they waited for someone to give up their fork so they could eat. But of course, "a Swanson never gives up his fork!" sigh So they waited forever and eventually died in their stupid log cabin.

According to Plato, a philosopher king is a ruler who possesses both a love of knowledge, as well as intelligence, reliability, and a willingness to live a simple life. Such are the rulers of his utopian city Kallipolis. For such a community to ever come into being, "philosophers become king. r those now called king. enuinely and adequately philosophize" (Plato The Republic, . 73d).

This is the solution that Plato brings to the political problem, the philosopher-king. Thus, to achieve justice in the city, it is necessary that kings become philosophers or philosophers become kings that. Such is the philosophy that has so marked the Western thinking, both in the analysis of love and desire than that of speculative dialectics. Executive Summary of the Philosophy of Plato: Plato, who died more than 23 centuries, has drawn paths that continue to fascinate our civilization and our culture
