    Extractions: (427-348 BC) Plato was born in Athens. Coming from a noble family, he aspired to a political career, but soon became upset with the "tyrannic democracy" of Athens, especially when it put his teacher, Socrates (469-399 BC) to death. Plato "turned to philosophy in search of an alternative to the stable and unjust public life of the time. He also sought unity behind the changing impressions of the visible universe." In Athens, Plato, eventually set up a school known as the Academy. Plato believed that there was another world beyond this changeable and destructible one in which we live, one consisting of unchanging eternal Forms. He asserted that what we see and touch are only very distantly related to the ultimate realities that exist. He gives, in his work the Republic , the famous comparison of the human condition with that of prisoners chained facing the inner wall of a cave, so that all they can see are mere shadows of objects in the cave, knowing nothing of the world outside. An example of one of the ultimate realities is Euclidean geometry with its theorems concerning ideal objects that do not and cannot exist in the perfect world in which we live, ideal objects such as straight lines without thickness and perfect circles, and other such timeless objects. And just as there are no perfect circles in this world we can not have morally perfect men, no absolutely perfect examples of courage or justice; we can only imagine perfectly moral standards.

86. The Unwritten Doctrines, Plato's Answer To Speusippus
    An essay by John Pepple, arguing that plato's later works include a response to Speusippus' rejection of the platonic forms.  
    http://www2.kenyon.edu/people/pepplej/
    
    Extractions: As can be gleaned from the title, I claim that Plato did have unwritten doctrines and that at least some of these doctrines were intended as an answer to Speusippus. We know that Speusippus refused to believe in the existence of Platonic forms, and there is good reason to believe (as I shall argue later) that one of his reasons for denying the existence of forms was that he accepted that notorious passage from Plato's Parmenides , the Third Man argument. If so, then if Plato thought this objection valid, he ought to have revised his theory. But if Plato thought the objection was invalid, then he needed either to answer this argument or, failing that, to deliver an ad hominem attack against Speusippus (for example, by finding some flaw in Speusippus' own system). Now there is little evidence that Plato ever thought the Third Man valid or that he revised his theory of forms so as to avoid it. Nor is there any evidence that Plato ever answered the Third Man argument, at least to Speusippus' satisfaction. The only information that we have about Speusippus in connection with the theory of forms is that he rejected it; we are not told that he changed his mind on this matter. So, there is no reason to believe that Plato ever answered the Third Man to Speusippus' satisfaction. Consequently, Plato had to find some sort of flaw in the system espoused by Speusippus, and the flaw that Plato found can be inferred from what Aristotle said about the unwritten doctrines. The end result of all this reasoning is that Aristotle emerges as a much more reliable interpreter of Plato than has formerly been thought.

    An article on the relation of the allegory to The Matrix and The Truman Show .  
    http://www.geocities.com/freeyourbrain/cave.htm
    
    Extractions: NOTE FROM WEBMASTER : The text below is a very interesting text that Plato - the philosopher - wrote two thousand years ago in Greece. While reading the text, you can just replace " cave " (or "den") by " linguistic prison " (or "mental slavery"), " shadows " by "illusory archetypes in language and in your perception field", " upper world " by Backstage visible world " (or "world of sight") by Stage World , and " instrument of knowledge " by " activated crystal " . The difference is that at that epoch the world was populated almost totally by neutrals and today after this hurricane it is the opposite. You can say that you need someone with thought reading capabilities to form and reinforce this linguistic prison in your mind through the association of ideas and artificial synchronicity, so the conclusion is that a small group of people with the capacity of reading minds (FOREIGNERS ?)

    http://www.lcc.gatech.edu/gallery/rhetoric/figures/plato.html
    
    Extractions: lato was a Greek who was born in 428 BC. He was taught by philosopher Socrates and acquired many of his philosophies. He met the philosopher in boyhood and through many years of teaching he developed a deep respect for him. He also wrote a lot about Socrates because of this respect that he had for him. He is also known for being the mentor of Aristotle . In 387, Plato founded the Megarian Institute of Philosophy. The school primarily focused on the areas of philosophy and sciences. Plato spent the majority of the rest of his life presiding over the academy. He was the founder of Platonism, a philosophy named for himself. He went on to be one of the most famous Greek philosophers Plato took many of his ideas about Rhetoric from his mentor, Socrates. Therefore, many of his writings included Socrates as the main character presenting the point of view that Plato wanted to convey. Both he and Socrates felt that rhetoric is most often used for selfish reasons. This is shown through Plato's work, Gorgias Gorgias says that rhetoric is "the queen of all arts" while Socrates argues that rhetoric is simply "a knack for humoring the audience." On top of this, Plato and Socrates felt that using rhetoric is immoral and "conducive to health of soul." In another work

    Extractions: Actress Dana Plato, who as a kid costarred on the wholesome sitcom Diff'rent Strokes and as an adult seemed bedeviled by its reputed curse , died of an accidental prescription-drug overdose Saturday in Oklahoma, just one day after declaring on nationwide radio, "I've never been happier." She was 34. Police said Plato apparently OD'd on Valium and the painkiller Loritab. Autopsy results today showed no sign of illness. Toxicology tests are pending. a d v e r t i s e m e n t On Howard Stern 's radio show on Friday, the ex-sitcom star proclaimed herself drug-free, save for painkillers she'd been on since a wisdom-teeth extraction some 18 weeks ago.

    Extractions: MAY ibid . iv 4; Diogenes lists about 30 titles, and his bibliography is on his own admission incomplete). We have very little of what he wrote, if any (we have something from a work later attributed to him, On Pythagorean Numbers , discussed below, but this is not one of Diogenes' titles; and we may have something preserved in Iamblichus, De communi mathematica scientia iv, also discussed below). What we can infer, mostly from Aristotle but with a few supplements from other authors, will be covered under three headings: Aristotle gives us an account of Plato's metaphysical views that goes considerably beyond what we find in Plato's dialogues. In fact, Aristotle gives us what he says are Plato's views and also those of others. From this we learn what little we can about Speusippus and his contemporary, Xenocrates. According to Aristotle, all three of Plato, Speusippus, and Xenocrates constructed their worlds operating with two principles (

    Extractions: encyclopaedia archives search Plato (428 - 348 BC) Greek philosopher who was the pupil of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle - and one of the most influential figures in 'western' thought. He founded what is said to be the first university - his Academy (near Athens) in around 385 BC. Plato's early works (dialogues) provide much of what we know of Socrates (470 - 399BC). In these early dialogues we see the use of the so called Socratic method . This is a question and answer form of arguing with an 'expert' on one side and a 'searcher' on the other. In the dialogues, the questioning of the expert by the 'searcher' often exposes gaps in the reasoning. Part of this can be put down to Plato's dislike of the Sophists (particularly as teachers of rhetoric) and his concern that teachers should know their subject. The 'middle period' of Plato's work is also characterised by the use of dialogues in which Socrates is the main speaker - but by this point it is generally accepted that it is Plato's words that are being spoken. We see the flowering of his thought around knowledge and the Forms, the Soul (

100. Atlanticas Revealed
     A chapter from the book Atlanticas by G¡bor Bihari. plato never for a moment spoke of a continent! He always mentioned Atlantis as an island. He wrote there was an island, which was bigger than Libya and Asia combined.  
     http://www.talewins.com/NF1.htm
     
     Extractions: Revealed by Gábor Bihari Sample Chapter 3.3 A Continent in the Atlantic Ocean? This is the classical conception isn't it? An enormous continent lay in the Atlantic Ocean a good ten thousand years ago. As Plato writes, it was bigger than Libya and Asia combined. It was formed by mountains and plains, and criss-crossed by rivers, just as any other continent. Then, one fine day, the whole thing sunk into the ocean, complete with the mountains, plains, trees and bushes. As the penalty of the gods, precisely as Plato described it. If it really was like this, then it is extremely simple to explain all those chance coincidences and unexpected peculiarities, which we listed earlier. It becomes understandable why the Basques are such a strange people: they originate from Atlantis. Why did the Indians have themselves originate from an island laying in the East in the ocean: they are also descendants of the Atlanteans. And the linguistic similarities originated from Atlantis to both the Old World and the New World. While the saga of the flood is an altered form of the history of Atlantis. Thus a continent of this sort would mean a relief from many points of view. Although today it would much rather cause complications, the science of the beginning of the century was very fond of bringing up Atlantis as a convenient explanation for the mysteries listed. According to one conception, the original continent stretched practically from Europe to America, and periodically even dry-land bridges could connect it with these continents. Shallow sea sections separated it from Europe, African and America, but sometimes these narrow channels dried up and made great migrations of the Atlanteans possible. When the continent sank, a few smaller pieces broke off from its edge and remained in the ocean as islands. On the eastern side these would be the Canary, Madeira Islands and the Azores, while on the western - American side of Atlantis - the Bahamas and the Bermuda Islands.
