Plato is one of the most influential of all philosophers. This course considers (briefly) the ancient Greek philosophers who preceded him, viz. the pre-Socratics and Socrates. It then considers some of the key elements in Plato's thought: on the soul and its immortality in Phaedo and on the perfectly just city-state in the Republic.
