Translated version

Plato

Socrates' student, founder of the Academy – the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. He developed the theory of Forms (or Ideas), asserting that the real world is merely an imperfect reflection of an ideal, eternal world of Forms. In his most famous works, such as "The Republic," he examined questions of the ideal society and justice. His "Allegory of the Cave" became a powerful symbol, depicting the philosopher's journey from ignorance to enlightenment.

Original version

Platonas

Sokrato mokinys, įkūręs Akademiją – pirmąją aukštojo mokslo įstaigą Vakarų pasaulyje. Sukūrė idėjų (arba formų) teoriją, teigiančią, kad realus pasaulis yra tik netobulas idealaus, amžino idėjų pasaulio atspindys. Garsiausiuose savo veikaluose, pavyzdžiui, „Valstybė“, jis nagrinėjo idealios visuomenės ir teisingumo klausimus. Jo „Olės alegorija“ tapo galingu simboliu, vaizduojančiu filosofo kelią iš neišmanymo į pažinimą.
