Abstract
PLATO'S BACKGROUND Plato was born around May – June 428/27 BC in Athens. His original name was Aristocles. Plato was a philosopher and a disciple of Socrates. His philosophy was also influenced by the thoughts of Heraclitus, Pythagoras and Parmenides. Plato's identification of virtue with knowledge is for instance an idea he got from Socrates. He is said to be the founder of political idealism.This is embedded in his belief that there is the world of ideas and the matter is also a world of sense. PLATO'S WORKS: His works include Crito, Apology, Charmides, Phaedo, Protagoras, Symposium, Meno, the Statesman, the laws, the Republic; etc. Plato's writings were in dialogues. Embedded in this style are conversation, debates, discussions and criticisms involving two or more persons in an issue. It was dialectical.
