What do we really know about Plato, the philosopher whose ideas have shaped Western thought for over two millennia? Drawing on Robin Waterfield’s recent biography, Plato of Athens, the author and classical scholar joins Socrates in the City host, Eric Metaxas, to explore the life, context, and enduring influence of Plato. Using Waterfield’s biography as a foundation, the discussion delves beyond the familiar image of Plato as Socrates’ devoted student to reveal a more complex and compelling figure: a political thinker, literary craftsman, and spiritual visionary whose work continues to challenge and inspire us today. They discuss the Academy and Plato’s Republic, the many myths surrounding his life, and the legacy Platonic thought in society.
