Of all writers of speculative philosophy, both ancient and modern, there is probably no one who has attained so eminent a position as Plato. In his early youth Plato applied himself to poetry and painting, both of which pursuits he relinquished to become the disciple and follower of Socrates. He was the devoted friend and pupil of Socrates, and during the imprisonment of his master he attended him constantly, and committed to writing his last discourses on the immortality of the soul... The writings of Plato are numerous, and most of them are in the form of dialogues... Three of his works, viz.: "The Apologia," "The Crito" and "The Phædo," have reference to the trial, imprisonment and death of Socrates. "The Apologia" represents Socrates on trial for his life, undertaking his own defence, though unaccustomed to the language of the courts, the occasion being, as he says, the first time he has ever been before a court of justice, though seventy years of age.

A utopia is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens. The term was coined by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island society in the south Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South America. The opposite of a utopia is a dystopia, which dominates the fictional literature. Dystopian fiction (sometimes combined with, but distinct from, apocalyptic fiction) offers the opposite: the portrayal of a setting that completely disagrees with the author's ethos.

We live in an era rife with cultural conflict. The 21st century is by no means free of wars, terrorism, riots, famine, nor epidemics. We may attempt to solve the challenges of our times by uniting the humanistic disciplines of philosophy, science, and technology. Our modern reality requires a fundamental understanding of the problems beleaguering our existence. Science and literature are key tools for gaining this insight. The wisdom accumulated throughout the centuries by scientists, philosophers, and writers is a solid foundation on which modern man can build the future. Our ability to learn from those who have come before is precisely what led Protagoras to declare that "Man is the measure of all things."

Nel celeberrimo processo a Socrate, il filosofo viene accusato di corruzione dei giovani e di venerazione di una divinità non tradizionale. Nel corso del processo Socrate, ormai spacciato, si difende esponendo un'apologia, riportata da Platone, che è riecheggiata nella storia dei secoli. La "Apologia" è una dei quattro testi che narrano gli ultimi giorni di vita di Socrate. Platone (circa 428-348 d.C.) è stato un filosofo di Atene nel periodo classico dell'Antica Grecia. Il suo pensiero ha avuto un'influenza eccezionale nella storia della filosofia ed egli è spesso considerato il fondatore della filosofia politica occidentale. Alfred North Whitehead ha sostenuto che "tutta la storia della filosofia occidentale non è che una serie di note a margine su Platone".

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. Plato's dialogues have been used (and are still used) to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion and mathematics. His lasting themes include Platonic love, the theory of forms, the five regimes, innate knowledge, among others. His theory of forms launched a unique perspective on abstract objects, and led to a school of thought called Platonism.
