PHILOSOPHERS'STONE.PART 22

Plato wrote a collection of Epistle and about twenty five philosophical dialogues,deployed the use of myths extensively than any of the ancient and mordern philosophers. Plato set up his school of philosophy in a grove not too far from Athens.He academy named after the legendary Greek hero Academus and the world academies and academics were from this groundswell.He taught philosophy,mathematics and gymnastics there.Although the right word rather than 'taught'should be used which is were lively discussed and not purely by chance that it produced a lot of dialogues.Inthe Plato's philosophical project,unlike the sophistsand socrates,fighting for their defense of relationship preoccupied betweenthe eternal norms andthe flowingvirtues or morals,samewith Parmenides and Herarclitus,Democritus a monist and then Empedocles at polar opposite, Plato took a different dimension. I still do the belief his theory was that different from that Anaximander's theory on boundless though he categorised them.Platonic heavenward.
