（古希腊）柏拉图著

About the Author

Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher born around 428 BCE in Athens, stands as one of the most influential thinkers in Western history, renowned for his profound dialogues that explore the nature of reality, justice, and the human soul. A student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle, Plato founded the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world, where he developed his theory of Forms and critiqued democracy in works like The Republic. His writings, often presented as conversations involving his mentor Socrates, blend philosophy with dramatic narrative, addressing ethics, politics, and metaphysics. Through timeless inquiries into knowledge and virtue, Plato's legacy endures, shaping intellectual discourse for millennia, as seen in his notable work Su格拉底的申辩 (Chinese Edition), a powerful defense of philosophical inquiry against Athenian persecution.
