Who is Plato? ad_unit_target='mainAdUnit'; X Close this window Plato is a philosopher and scholar who lived between 427 and 347 BC. Plato was a student of Socrates . He later formed the first known "university" called the Academy . Plato's best known work is The Republic and his best known concept is the Theory of Forms. Plato's Theory of Forms states that while experience is changing and illusory, ideal forms are unchanging and real. Plato advanced Parmenides' theory that both experience and forms are real. Aristotle and Socrates also began their philosophical thought from Parmenides, who was known as Parmenides of Elea. Parmenides lived between 510 and 440 BC. Although his reasoning was shown by Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, and other philosophers to be mostly unsound, Parmenides, rather ironically, began the entire concept of logical deduction that was to make these scholars well-known. Plato's Theory of Forms holds that some stable, unchanging aspects of something must be a part of our sense experience for that thing to be considered real. For example, while there are many individual dogs, they are all made in the dog form. A form could be considered a pattern, a blueprint, or a design. We can recognize a form called a "dog" underneath what we experience as a " Great Dane ," a " Yorkshire Terrier ," a "Dalmation," or a dog of mixed, unrecognizable breeds.

Soc. Then I am to call you a rhetorician? Gor. Yes, Socrates, and a good one too, if you would call me that which, in Homeric language, "I boast myself to be." Soc. Very good then; as you profess to be a rhetorician, and a maker of rhetoricians, let me ask you, with what is rhetoric concerned: I might ask with what is weaving concerned, and you would reply (would you not?), with the making of garments? Gor. Yes.

Plato had a profound influence on Western political and scientific thought, for as Alfred North Whitehead said, "All western philosophy consists of footnotes to Plato." His works cover various subjects like education, ethics, epistemology, mathematics, metaphysics, natural science, politics, and philosophy. Included among them are Laws; "I can show you that the art of calculation has to do with odd and even numbers in their numerical relations to themselves and to each other." Parmenides; "You cannot conceive the many without the one." and The Republic; "The knowledge of which geometry aims is the knowledge of the eternal."

Despite my masculine name, I am a lady cat. I used to have a job as a professional barn cat, but recently I moved indoors to live a life of ease. This is where I used to live. I had a nice warm nest of hay in the loft. I came down to visit with my friends and to hunt. I kept all the vermin out of the barn - well all the vermin except the d*g. I couldn't keep her out because she was too big for me. This is a picture of my friend Schubert. He would pet me sometimes, and I would rub his legs. I miss him a little now that I am indoors. Once he picked me up and shook me and I screamed. That's why I miss him only a little bit. As soon as I moved indoors I started marking the house as mine. The other cat here didn't like that much, but tough! We manage to get along, but we are still deciding who owns what. (I think I own everything!) Thank you for visiting. Rawr! Come back after I have had a chance to read all these books and we will have a longer conversation.

I. Introduction Viewers of The Matrix remember the moment in the film when Neo is released from his prison and made to grasp the truth of his life and the world. The account above roughly captures that turning point in the 1999 film, and yet it is drawn from an image crafted almost twenty-four hundred years ago by the Greek philosopher, Plato (427-347 B.C.E.). Today the Republic is the most influential work by Plato, and the allegory of the Cave the most famous part of the Republic. If you know that Socrates was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death by drinking hemlock, or that Socrates thought that the unexamined life is not worth living, you may also know that Socrates in the Republic Apology The Matrix Republic . Like the allegory of the Cave, The Matrix To see what I am calling a deeper connection between the film and the allegory of the Cave, I begin in Part II by recounting the context in which the Cave appears and the philosophical positions it figuratively depicts. In Part III I compare and contrast the film and the allegory, focusing attention on the difficulty in sorting out deceptive sensory information. Finally, in Part IV I examine the warnings and concessions Plato places in the dramatic spaces of

Cyber1.org is a group of people dedicated to the preservation of the world's first computer-based community, PLATO. Cyber1.org is made possible by the VCampus Corporation , who graciously donated rights to their CYBIS software system. Cyber1.org thanks VCampus and their CEO Nat Kannan not only for their generosity, but also for having the wisdom to preserve one of the most important pieces of computer history. PLATO is a computer-based educational system created at the University of Illinois Control Systems Laboratory. The idea was first discussed at the University in 1959, in a long series of meetings led by Chalmers Sherwin. At these meetings it was concluded that computer-based education should not be pursued. However, the director at the time, Daniel Alpert, got together with Donald Bitzer to see if Don could quickly come up with a prototype that could serve as proof-of-concept. This prototype, running on an Illiac-I, became PLATO. The project was subsequently funded in 1960 by government money from the Joint Services Program. The lab grew and became the Computer-based Education Research Laboratory (CERL). PLATO eventually spawned a variety of commercial ventures, starting in 1975 with

Plato: The Allegory of the Cave, from The Republic Judging by this passage, why do you think many people in the democracy of Athens might have been antagonistic to Plato's ideas? What does the sun symbolize in the allegory? Is a resident of the cave (a prisoner, as it were) likely to want to make the ascent to the outer world? Why or why not? What does the sun symbolize in the allegory? And now, I said, let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened:Behold! human beings living in an underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which marionette players have in front of them, over which they show the puppets. I see.

76. Plato The goal of the plato project is to develop software engineering tools and techniques that help modern programmers create more reliable and secure component http://www.cs.princeton.edu/sip/projects/plato/

Defining Modern Logics for Modern Programmers The goal of the Plato project is to develop software engineering tools and techniques that help modern programmers create more reliable and secure component software systems. In order to accomplish our goal, we are developing a system of logical type refinements (LTR) that conservatively extend type systems for modern programming languages like Java, C# and ML. LTR guarantee properties of programs as they are written, linked together, executed and evolve through all aspects of the software lifecycle. More specifically, we are developing LTR that allow programmers to specify a rich of collection of domain-specific invariants involving the contents of component data structures, the ordering and effect of operations specified in an interface, the safety of components acquired from different sources, and the distribution of data and computations over a network. LTR are specified in a concise notation familiar to programmers. In addition, sophisticated refinement checking and refinement inference techniques allow programmers to minimize the number of annotations they need to put on their programs.
