PLATO: THE FATHER OF WESTERN PHILOSOPHY Book 3 of the Be a Great Thinker Series Reality isn't objective. Love isn't what you think. And justice? It might just be a shadow on the wall. Welcome to the mind of Plato-student of Socrates, teacher of Aristotle, and the original thought-disrupter of the Western world. When the world looked outward, Plato looked inward. His dialogues turned philosophy into a battlefield of ideas. He questioned the nature of truth, the soul, the government-even what it meant to exist. He was a philosopher, yes. But also a visionary who tried to build the perfect society, challenge power, and elevate love beyond the physical. Plato didn't just want answers-he wanted you to wake up. Are you ready to question reality and discover what it truly means to think for yourself? Readers will explore:Why Plato believed the world we see isn't the real world How his Theory of Forms still influences science, psychology, and religion Why education, justice, and equality mattered to him more than politics or wealth Adrienne Roth is a writer and educator dedicated to making philosophy and critical thinking engaging for young readers. She believes that understanding great thinkers-and loving great books-can help shape curious minds and create a more thoughtful world.

Sommaire:
Plato was the first and one of the best-known philosophers of the Western world. He was a student of the teacher Socrates, and he taught the equally great and influential philosopher Aristotle. Plato's philosophies and concepts have been reviewed, mulled over, and heralded for a few thousand years. They can be complex and thought-provoking but are 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. You might question reality and the world you understand while delving deeper into Plato's thought process. We look at what made Plato one of the greatest philosophers.
