Despre autor
Platon a fost un filozof al Greciei antice și fondatorul Academiei din Atena. Este considerat o figură centrală pentru dezvoltarea filosofiei, în special a tradiției Occidentale. Spre deosebire de ceilalți filosofi contemporani ai săi, întreaga operă a lui Platon se presupune că a supraviețuit intactă pentru mai bine de 2500 de ani.
