Be A Great Thinker - Book Three: Plato: The Father of Western Philosophy
About
Plato was the first and one of the best-known philosophers of the Western world. He was taught by the philosopher Socrates, and he was the teacher of the equally great and influential philosopher Aristotle.
Plato’s philosophies and concepts have been reviewed, mulled over, and heralded for a few thousand years. His philosophies are complex and fascinating and, without any doubt, profound.
In book three of our series, Be A Great Thinker, we examine Plato’s life and philosophies. We introduce Plato’s sometimes surprising, often reflective, and incredibly thought-provoking ideas. Plato might have you questioning the concept of reality and the world that you understand, while delving deeper into his thought processes.
We review what made Plato one of the greatest philosophers. The book examines how he started his life, what formed his ideas, and what prompted him to follow in the footsteps of other prominent philosophers of his day. You will learn what makes him unique and essential to this day, and why he is considered the Father of Western Philosophy.
