Inhaltsangabe

Critias, one of Plato's late dialogues, contains the story of the mighty island kingdom Atlantis and its attempt to conquer Athens. Critias is the second of a projected trilogy of dialogues, preceded by Timaeus and followed by Hermocrates, though the latter was possibly never written and Critias was left incomplete.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher born in Athens around 428 or 427 BCE. A student of Socrates and later the teacher of Aristotle, he founded the Academy, one of the earliest and most influential centers of higher learning in the Western world. Plato wrote in the form of dialogues, using conversations between Socrates and other figures to investigate morality, politics, knowledge, reality, love, education, and the nature of the soul.His major works include The Republic, Symposium, Phaedo, Apology, Timaeus, and Laws. Through his theory of Forms, his examination of ideal government, and his insistence that philosophy should transform both the individual and society, Plato established questions that continue to define philosophical inquiry. His influence extends far beyond philosophy into theology, political theory, literature, psychology, education, and the sciences.
