🌟 Who Was Plato? (Kid-Friendly English)

Plato was a smart thinker from ancient Greece, over 2,000 years ago.
He was a student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle — kind of like a teacher in the middle of a big brainy sandwich! 🥪🧠

What did Plato believe?

• He said that thinking and asking questions helps us find the truth.

• He believed in something called ideas or forms – like how a drawing of a circle isn’t perfect, but the idea of a circle in your mind is perfect.

• He wrote his thoughts as stories and conversations, often with Socrates as the main speaker.

Plato wanted people to be wise and fair, and he dreamed of a world where philosophers were kings, because they would make smart, kind choices for everyone.
