Aflāṭūn dar chang-i shumā: Persian 1399

It is no exaggeration to call Plato the father of Western philosophy. Although he had not desired such a position, he probably would not have given up on accepting it. What we know about Plato today is rooted in his countless writings. According to what Plato said in his works, and from the biographies written about him by Plato's contemporaries, we have a relatively good picture of his living conditions. But his image, like any old photo, has faded over time. Some of what we know about Plato is rooted in writings that tried to portray him as a legendary figure. So it is necessary to separate some flashy images from his background. This book deals with information about Plato's life that most researchers have accepted. Of course, other different theories about Plato have been given to complete the statements, but they have not been discussed in great detail. You can get more information about Plato and his life by studying one of the sources mentioned in the appendix of this book.
