Who? Plato

Plato is a Greek philosopher and mathematician. He also founded he Academy in Athens. His mentor was Socrates, and his student was Aristotle. His thoughts are the foundation of natural philosophy and science today. He was affected deeply by his teacher's death, which he considered extremely unfair. He studied metaphysics, epistemology, and government, among other things. He influenced the way we think about the world and society now, and was a huge part of shaping math, science, and philosophy.
