Plato and his thougths
Plato was a man born in Athens. When he was young, he starts to follow Socrates classes, and then he became a disciple.
Plato was very influenced by Socrates because he was the master of argumentation and also he has revolutionary ideas about society, life, order… this create interest and an obsession in Plato, and after the dead of his master Plato starts to writing about Socrates, his live, his thoughts…
Plato decide to continue with Socrates ideas but with in a different way. Plato start talking about reality, he is the one of the firsts in question reality, he do this with the story of the cave, it talk about the truth of reality, and that some people after they go outside the cave they came in again and try to convince the others that in the outside all is different and beauty but nobody want changes because they produce fear in people.
One of the ideas Plato was that all we perceive is false, is a copy reflected by the hyper Uranus this image of reality is projected by the hyper Uranus then it pass through the Uranus and it can be seen in the Gaia where all we are. These shows us the Eros vs psyche confront, eros the reflection, the outside and psyche the mind and soul, the reason. So he is trying to said that the world can be only be perceived by using the reason and this can be truth in some way because to analyze the world you have to use the reason if you don’t you never can be capable to understand anything, he is very important for all of us because they ideas was controversial and innovator and through the time they persist and influence us in the society and type of thought we have.
