Plato

Plato was the most important pupil of Sacrates(of who i talk in the last post). He said that the most beauty are the ideas and that the beuaty is equal than the truth and the reality. So if anything isn´t one of this things, it can´t be anyone of the other two things. He have an obsession with Socrates, and because of that and that in Athens, in that time, didn´t have anymore to do, he became a philosopher.
He believe in 3 worlds, the Gaia, the Uranus and Hyperuranus. He said that Gaia, that is the surface of te Earth, is the reflection of the reallity and that in Hyperuranus, that is under the sky, is the reallty that are the ideas of what we are and represent in the Earth.
He have the metaphor of the ``Allegory of the cave´´ that said that there are humans in a cave, and they can not see anymore than the light and the shadows pruducts of that light of the entrance. One guy go to the light, to outside of the cave and said the others that outside is another world and they kill them, but always at least one think of what is outside the cave. With this he explain his teory of the Hyperuranus.

Socrates


Socrates was a man who lived in V century B.C. He was an ugly guy who don´t enter in any group of ``prestige´´ of that time. So he wants to do something to explain his situation, and he talk about of the internal beauty, the knowledge. He love his own theory and he said for first time the word ``PHILOSOPHY´´ that is a compound word in Grece that mean love to knowledge.
Socrates was very intelligent, and he dont like this idea of naturalism, that said that the nature is the center of any answer but it can`t have any relation with the spirit and make it like something materialist; so he started to go to boycott the universities like an idiot and doing some questions to make the teacher ``explosed´´.
Socrates was very cool man because he can boycott, do fool things, etc, because of his knowledge, but he have a really problem, that is that he develop a complex because of his uglyness so he started this theory, but this theory will be serious or useful after he died; but I don´t know if this is a problem or a good thing because it help to the development of the humanities and help to the creation of a lot of universities.
He died poisoned after a judgment when he can`t talk because of his powerful mind, and when he give a speech that affects to a lot of people and they decide to continue with the ideas of socrates
