Plato is a great philosopher of ancient Greece,as well as one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers in western culture and philosophy.Plato”s teacher Socrates,and his student,Aristotle,are outstanding philosophers,too.Ancient Greek philosophy is dominated by these three famous men.

Plato is the founder of Western objective idealism.

Plato believes that the world is consist of”idea”and”phenomenon ”.The world of idea truly exit and never change.While,the world we can see and we can touch is just the faint shadow of the idea world which is formed by phenomenon,and each kind of phenomenon is due to the change of spatial and temporal.From this perspective,Plato put forward a theory of ideas and memories,and regards it as the philosophical foundation of the teaching theory.In his view,all the tangible things in nature are moving,while the”idea”of them never change.Plato pointed out that, when we talk about the "horse", we do not have an horse, but said any horse. "The horse" meaning itself is independent from various MA ("tangible"), and it does not exist in space and time.But a certain horse is the"moving",it will die, will rot.

The most famous thinking of Plato is his love view.He said:”The mind removes from the human body and is longing for the truth is the best. When the soul is the spirit of evil by the infection, people wish to pursue the truth will not be satisfied. When humans do not have the strong demand of the flesh, the mood is peaceful, the flesh is animal performance, is the nature of every organism.This kind of love is a kind of ideal love view,a romantic view which is impossible to achieve:standing beside the lover, quietly pay, silently waiting,He does not expect the approach, does not have a prayer.Perhaps this is not asking for anything is doomed to a tragic ending.Finally, it is only two in the distance waiting arc, leaving the most beautiful memories of fragments as eternal!

Plato, in any case, is not only one of the literary tradition of the most dazzling writer of western philosophy, but also the most insightful, extensive and influential writers.In his work, he showed on political events and intellectuals at that time the activities of the attention, but he put forward the problem is so far-reaching, his use of coping strategies is suggestive and exciting.In almost every age philosophers think they is the Plato doctrine in some important ways, he is not the first one should use "philosophers" this word thinker or a writer, but he to philosophy how to conceive, its scope and correct pursuit goal so self-knowledge. Through him to grasp, the subject of philosophy, generally -- on the ethics, politics, metaphysics, epistemology issue strict inspection and system,through a unique called his invention of the method of equipment, he was so changed intellectual tide. The history of philosophy, only a few of the other writers in the breadth and depth of close to him: perhaps only Aristotle (learn together and he man),Kant is generally agreed to have the same status.
