Be a Great Thinker - Plato: The Father of Western Philosophy

By Matthew Roth and Adrienne Roth

PLATO: THE FATHER OF WESTERN PHILOSOPHY

Book 3 of the Be a Great Thinker Series

Reality isn't objective. Love isn't what you think. And justice? It might just be a shadow on the wall.

Welcome to the mind of Plato-student of Socrates, teacher of Aristotle, and the original thought-disrupter of the Western world. When the world looked outward, Plato looked inward. His dialogues turned philosophy into a battlefield of ideas. He questioned the nature of truth, the soul, the government-even what it meant to exist.

He was a philosopher, yes. But also a visionary who tried to build the perfect society, challenge power, and elevate love beyond the physical. Plato didn't just want answers-he wanted you to wake up.

Are you ready to question reality and discover what it truly means to think for yourself?

Readers will explore:

Why Plato believed the world we see isn't the real worldHow his "Theory of Forms" still influences science, psychology, and religionWhy education, justice, and equality mattered to him more than politics or wealthAdrienne Roth is a writer and educator dedicated to making philosophy and critical thinking engaging for young readers.
