Plato was a philosopher in Ancient Greece. He was an essential figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition, and he founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world.

His lasting themes include Platonic love, the theory of forms, the five regimes, innate knowledge, among others.
