Charmides

Meer over het boek

Plato, an Athenian philosopher of the Classical period, established the Academy, marking the beginning of higher education in the Western world. Renowned for his profound influence on philosophy, he is often regarded alongside Socrates and Aristotle as a cornerstone of Ancient Greek thought. His contributions extend beyond philosophy, impacting Western religion and spirituality, particularly through the neoplatonism of later thinkers like Plotinus and Porphyry, which significantly shaped Christian theology as seen in the works of Church Fathers such as Augustine.
