Plato, Ancient Greek philosopher
Plato (c.428 BC-c.347 BC), Ancient Greek philosopher. Platos spirit of rational inquiry led to todays scientific method. His writings shaped and continue to have a profound influence on Western thought. He was a pupil of Socrates, founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world, and taught Aristotle. Plato helped to form the first coherent model of the motion of heavenly bodies. He was also a contemporary of Hippocrates and wrote on the circulatory system in his dialogue work titled Timaeus. The description was similar to that proposed by the Ancient Egyptians. This bust is held at the Louvre, Paris, France
