The famous dialogue "On Justice" analyzes the blueprint for organizing the ideal community of law and education, as well as presenting the political and moral principles of the philosopher. It includes an Introduction to the dialogue and an examination of the concept of justice according to the prevailing views of the time. The creation of the state is a central theme, while the personality and ideas of Plato are highlighted, who was born in 427 BC to a prominent Athenian family and received an excellent education.
Plato was decisively influenced by Socrates, whose life and philosophical views shaped his moral and spiritual essence. The Socratic conceptualization formed the basis for the creation of the Platonic theory of Ideas. He traveled to various regions, such as Egypt and Sicily, trying to apply his political principles.
In 387 BC, he founded the Academy in Athens, a famous center of philosophy and the Muses, which lasted for almost ten centuries. Plato devoted himself to teaching and writing until his death in 348 BC. His works were categorized by Thrasyllus into nine tetralogies, and almost all belong to the genre of dialogue, through which he became famous not only as a philosopher but also as a poet.
His teaching combines elements of Greek thought, Orphism, Pythagoreanism, and Ionian philosophy, and is shaped into a colossal philosophical system. His philosophy, ethical, ontological, and political, forms the foundation of global Idealism and has significantly influenced thought throughout the ages.
