Aristotle (, Aristotélēs ) ( 384 BC – 322 BC ) was a Greek philosopher and polymath, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great.

The traditional story about his departure reports that he was disappointed with the direction the academy took after control passed to Plato's nephew Speusippus upon his death, although it is possible that he feared anti-Macedonian sentiments and left before Plato had died.

However, Plato reports that syntax was devised before him, by Prodicus of Ceos, who was concerned by the correct use of words.

Although the authenticity of this epigram was accepted for many centuries, it was probably not composed for Agathon the tragedian, nor was it composed by Plato.

Stylistic evidence suggests that the poem ( with most of Plato's other alleged epigrams ) was actually written some time after Plato had died: its form is that of the Hellenistic erotic epigram, which did not become popular until after 300 BC.

The press was started by Aldus based on his love of classics, and at first printed new copies of Plato, Aristotle, and other Greek and Latin classics.

He was a pupil of Proclus in Athens, and taught at Alexandria for most of his life, writing commentaries on Plato, Aristotle, and other philosophers.

Hierocles, writing in the 5th century, states that Ammonius ' fundamental doctrine was that Plato and Aristotle were in full agreement with each other:

Plato used the word aeon to denote the eternal world of ideas, which he conceived was " behind " the perceived world, as demonstrated in his famous allegory of the cave.

According to Plato, Atlantis was a naval power lying " in front of the Pillars of Hercules " that conquered many parts of Western Europe and Africa 9, 000 years before the time of Solon, or approximately 9600 BC.

The Egyptians, Plato asserted, described Atlantis as an island comprising mostly mountains in the northern portions and along the shore, and encompassing a great plain of an oblong shape in the south " extending in one direction three thousand stadia 555 km ; 345 mi, but across the center inland it was two thousand stadia 370 km ; 230 mi.

Cameron also points out that whether he refers to Plato or to Crantor, the statement does not support conclusions such as Otto Muck's " Crantor came to Sais and saw there in the temple of Neith the column, completely covered with hieroglyphs, on which the history of Atlantis was recorded.

Furthermore, she expressed the belief that it was Homer before Plato who first wrote of Atlantis.

Plato drew a parallel between Athene and the ancient Libyan and Egyptian goddess Neith, a war deity who also was depicted carrying a shield.

The book is heavily influenced by Plato and his dialogues ( as was Boethius himself ).

Popper even uses the term " conspiracy " to describe ordinary political activity in the classical Athens of Plato ( who was the principal target of his attack in The Open Society and Its Enemies ).

Plato posited a basic argument in The Laws ( Book X ), in which he argued that motion in the world and the Cosmos was " imparted motion " that required some kind of " self-originated motion " to set it in motion and to maintain that motion.

Therefore, the idea was born that only the elite should know the truth in its complete form and the rulers, Plato said, must tell the people of the city " The Noble Lie " to keep them passive and content, without the risk of upheaval and unrest.

Plato is thus known as one of the very first rationalists, believing as he did that humans are born with a fund of a priori knowledge, to which they have access through a process of reason or intellection — a process that critics find to be rather mysterious.

As Plato tells it, the heckler hails from the small island of Seriphus ; Themistocles retorts that it is true that he would not have been famous if he had come from that small island, but that the heckler would not have been famous either if he had been born in Athens.

There is confusion also about his place of birth, " Megara ", which Plato for example understood to be Megara Hyblaea in Sicily, while a scholiast on Plato cites Didymus for the rival theory that the poet was born in a Megara in Attica, and ventures the opinion that Theognis might have later migrated to the Sicilian Megara ( a similar theory had assigned an Attic birthplace to the Spartan poet Tyrtaeus ).

His father, Jona ( born Jonah Freiherr von Ustinow ), nicknamed " Klop " ( Russian: Клоп, " bed-bug "), was of Russian, German, Swiss and Ethiopian noble descent, and had served as a lieutenant in the Imperial German Luftstreitkräfte in World War I. Jona's father was Plato von Ustinov.
