Athens, 2400 years ago. It’s a compact place: only about a quarter of a million people live here.
There are fine baths, theatres, temples, shopping arcades and gymnasiums
It’s warm for more than half the year.
This is also home to the world’s first true – and probably greatest – philosopher:
Plato
Born into a prominent and wealthy family in the city,
Plato devoted his life to one goal: helping people to reach a state of what he termed:
εὐδαιμονία (Eudaimonia) or fulfilment.
Plato is often confused with Socrates
Socrates was an older friend, who taught Plato a lot but didn’t write any books.
Plato wrote lots of them: 36, all dialogues: beautifully crafted scripts of
imaginary discussions in which Socrates is always allocated a starring role - among them:
The Republic The Symposium
The Laws The Meno
and The Apology
Plato had four big ideas for making life more fulfilled.
First big idea: Think more
We rarely give ourselves time to think carefully and logically about our lives and how to live
them.
Sometimes we just go along with what the the Greeks called ‘doxa’: ‘popular opinions’.
In the the 36 books he wrote, Plato showed this ‘common-sense’ to be riddled with
errors, prejudice and superstition.
