# Plato

> The philosopher who invented the dialogue form and built the scaffolding every Western thinker since has worked inside. His Theory of Forms tried to solve how we recognize a chair when no two chairs are identical - and 2,400 years later, we're still arguing about his answer.

*4th-century BCE Greek philosopher*

## Bio

Born around 428-423 BC in Classical Athens, Plato absorbed the pre-Socratic puzzles of Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides before studying under Socrates. After his teacher's execution, he founded the Academy, where he taught what would become Platonism and trained Aristotle. His complete works survived when nearly every contemporary's vanished, read straight through antiquity and the Middle Ages, shaping Christian, Jewish, and Islamic thought through Neoplatonism. He died in 348 or 347 BC, leaving a body of work so encompassing that Alfred North Whitehead later called European philosophy "a series of footnotes to Plato."
