Extractions: Help Search: Plato Plato's biography is mainly drawn from the work of other ancient writers and a few of Plato's own letters. He was born in Athens around 428 BC to an aristocratic family with a long and esteemed history of political leadership. According to an anecdote of dubious veracity, told by the Greek biographer Diogenes Laertius, Plato was originally named Aristocles. His wrestling coach, however, dubbed him "Platon" (meaning "broad") on account of his broad shouldersâshoulders that would one day bear the foundational weight of Western thought. Plato's father Ariston descended from the early kings of Athens. His mother Perictione came from a similarly distinguished line that included 6th Century BC legislator Solon. Plato's father appears that have died when Plato was still a young child. His mother remarried to Pyrilampes, an associate of the statesman Pericles, as she was unable to support Plato and his siblings. Plato has two brothers, Adeimantus and Glaucon, as well as a younger sister, Potone. Perictione later had a child with Pyrilampes named Antiphon. Plato had political ambitions as a young man and appeared destined to follow the family tradition. He became disillusioned with Athenian politics, however, as both the Empire and its politics had begun to decline since the onset of the Peloponnesian War (several years before Plato's birth). Outside the political sphere, Plato enjoyed success in athletics and engaged in both poetry and drama. According to Aristotle, Plato also became familiar with the teachings of Cratylusâa student of Heraclitusâas well as those of other pre-Socratic thinkers such as Pythagoras and Parmenides. These teachings provided the young philosopher with an introduction to the foundations of Greek metaphysics and epistemology.

Emoticons And Smileys On PLATO In The 1970s
Emoticons and smileys emerged on the plato system in the 1970s in a unique and different way.
http://www.platopeople.com/emoticons.html

Extractions: 13 September 2002 The news is floating around the Web right now about the "discovery" of the first online emotion-conveying icon or "emoticon." What readers and reporters are apparently not aware of is that the emoticon or "smiley" being discussed is the first ASCII smiley. Like so many things, PLATO was doing emoticons and smileys, online and onscreen, years earlier. In fact, emoticons on PLATO were already an art form by 1976. PLATO users began doing smiley characters probably as early as 1972 (when PLATO IV came out), but possibly even earlier on PLATO III (still to be determined... old-timer PLATO III users please speak up!). A close-up of some famous PLATO smileys. How were these things done? Well, on PLATO, you could press SHIFT-space to move your cursor back one space and then if you typed another character, it would appear on top of the existing character. And if you wanted to get real fancy, you could use the MICRO and SUB and SUPER keys on a PLATO keyboard to move up and down one pixel or more in effect providing a HUGE array of possible emoticon characters. So if you typed "W" then SHIFT-space then "O" then SHIFT-space then "B", "T", "A", "X", all with SHIFT-spaces in between, all those characters would plot on top of each other, and the result would be the smiley as shown above in the "WOBTAX" example. Below are just some examples of smileys and emoticons collected from lesson =m4= on PLATO in the mid 1970s:

PLATO is a dynamic community of about 400 adults who have the time and commitment to continue a lifelong pursuit of knowledge. Each member researches, participates in - and periodically leads - weekly small group discussions of topics theyâve chosen. PLATO is not a passive experience. Like our namesake, we learn and teach through interactive dialogue â an educational opportunity like no other. 14-week terms begin the first weeks of January, May and September, with a choice of 25 subjects per term that range in scope from literature to science; from history and current events to the arts and philosophy.

http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Plato.html

Extractions: Greek philosopher who was a student and follower of Socrates . He founded the Academy school in Athens. His works consisted of "dialogs" between Socrates and others. Like Socrates , he was interested in moral, not natural philosophy. He believed that the heads of government should be "philosopher kings" and developed a course of study stressing abstract thought for their education in the Republic. Plato advocated the "quadrivium" (the four math fields of study in the liberal arts), which starts with arithmetic, then progresses to plane geometry, solid geometry, and finally astronomy and harmonics. Plato believed that knowledge was "forgotten" at birth, and could be remembered. He saw the search for understanding as an attempt to gain pure knowledge, or "forms." In Eikos Mythos (A Likely Story ), he said that cosmology is, at best, a likely account. In Timaeus, he presented his cosmology which consisted of forms, particular objects, God the Craftsman, absolute space, and brute matter. As a craftsman, God could not make a perfect world from imperfect material.
Human Intelligence: Plato

http://www.indiana.edu/~intell/plato.shtml

Extractions: Influences Education Career Ideas and Contributions Plato was born into a wealth Athenian family and planned to become a politician. As he grew older, he became repulsed by the brutal and unethical practices of Athenian dictators. In 399 B.C.E. he left Athens when his friend Socrates was sentenced to death. Twelve years later, he founded a school of philosophy and science called the Academy , the first university. Plato is famous for his written dialogues , conversations between two or more characters debating philosophical issues. His earliest dialogues utilize Socrates as the main character who questions others on their beliefs and ideas. ( World Book Plato's philosophy was based on his theory of a soul divided into three components, reason, will and appetite. He contended that one can identify the parts of the soul because they sometimes clash with each other. A person may crave or have an appetite for something, yet resist the craving with willpower. A correctly operating soul requires the highest part, reason, to control the lowest part, appetite, with assistance from the will.
Plato, Phaedrus

Extractions: Socrates . My dear Phaedrus, whence come you, and whither are you going? Phaedrus . I come from Lysias the son of Cephalus, and I am going to take a walk outside the wall, for I have been sitting with him the whole morning; and our common friend Acumenus tells me that it is much more refreshing to walk in the open air than to be shut up in a cloister. Soc. There he is right. Lysias then, I suppose, was in the town? Phaedr. Yes, he was staying with Epicrates, here at the house of Morychus; that house which is near the temple of Olympian Zeus. Soc. And how did he entertain you? Can I be wrong in supposing that Lysias gave you a feast of discourse? Phaedr. You shall hear, if you can spare time to accompany me. Soc. And should I not deem the conversation of you and Lysias "a thing of higher import," as I may say in the words of Pindar, "than any business"? Phaedr. Will you go on?

http://www.crystalinks.com/plato.html

Extractions: Plato (428/427 BC 348/347 BC), whose original name was Aristocles, was an ancient Greek philosopher, the second of the great trio of ancient Greeks, succeeding Socrates and preceding Aristotle who between them laid the philosophical foundations of Western culture. Plato was also a mathematician, writer of philosophical dialogues, and founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the western world. Plato is widely believed to have been a student of Socrates and to have been deeply influenced by his teacher's unjust death. Plato's brilliance as a writer and thinker can be witnessed by reading his Socratic dialogues. Some of the dialogues, letters, and other works that are ascribed to him are considered spurious. Plato is thought to have lectured at the Academy, although the pedagogical function of his dialogues, if any, is not known with certainty. They have historically been used to teach philosophy, logic, rhetoric, mathematics, and other subjects about which he wrote. Plato influenced the work of Aristotle, Neoplatonism, Cicero, Plutarch, Stoicism, Anselm, Descartes, Hobbes, Leibniz, Mill, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Arendt, Gadamer and countless other western philosophers and theologians.

http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/P/Plato.html

Extractions: Plato's beliefs led him to oppose the claims of atomism put forward by Leucippus Democritus , and others, that there are other inhabited worlds. In the Timaeus , he writes: "There is and ever will be one only-begotten and created heaven." This statement derived partly from Plato's belief that a unique Creator implies a unique creation. His student Aristotle also argued vigorously in favor of a single kosmos and a single seat of life throughout all of space and time. In 4th century B.C. Greece, all the major thinkers and seats of learning were congregated in a few key city-states of which Athens was preeminent. Just outside the city walls of the capital lay the Academy, the Harvard of the ancient world. And at the head of the Academy was Plato, foremost thinker of his age. The Academy supposedly took its name from Hekademos, a mythical Attic hero at the time of the Trojan War who, legend has it, planted twelve olive groves on land he owned about a mile from the center of Athens using shoots from the sacred tree of Athena on the Acropolis. He then bequeathed the place for use as a public gymnasium (an athletic training ground) and shrine to the chief goddess of Greece and other deities. Several hundred years later, in the 6th century B.C.

The Last Days Of Socrates
As a young man, plato was very much influenced by Socrates, who was about 40 years his senior. plato s early writings show his admiration for Socrates.
http://socrates.clarke.edu/aplg0259.htm

Extractions: Plato (427-347 BCE) is the author of the Apology . He came from a wealthy Athenian family. His mother, Perictione, was a descendent of Solon, and his father, Ariston, was from a long lineage of the old kings of Athens (which was said to have originated with the Poseidon, the god of the seas). His two uncles, Critias and Charmenides, were leaders in the Rule of Thirty uprising against the Athenian democracy. As a young man, Plato was very much influenced by Socrates , who was about 40 years his senior. In all likelihood, he was present during Socrates' trial. The Apology was probably written within a few years after the actual trial and was intended to be read by those who admired Socrates as well as the jurors who convicted him. It was common at that time to edit and publish celebrated speeches. Plato's early writings show his admiration for Socrates . His most famous philosophical work is the Republic where he discusses the nature of justice, the theory of innate ideas, and the ideal state. There is much controversy among scholars when distinguishing the views the historical Socrates had, Plato's own view of
