'''Plato''' ({{IPA-en|ˈpleɪtoʊ}}; [[Ancient Greek language|Greek]]: {{polytonic|[[wikt:Πλάτων|Πλάτων]]}}, ''Plátōn'', "broad"<ref>[[Diogenes Laertius]] 3.4; p. 21, David Sedley, [http://assets.cambridge.org/052158/4922/sample/0521584922ws.pdf ''Plato's Cratylus''], Cambridge University Press 2003</ref>; 428/427 BC{{Ref label|A|a|none}} – 348/347 BC), was a [[Classical Greece|Classical]] [[Greeks|Greek]] [[philosopher]], [[mathematician]], student of [[Socrates]], writer of philosophical dialogues, and founder of the [[Platonic Academy|Academy]] in [[Ancient Athens|Athens]], the first institution of higher learning in the [[Western world]]. Along with his mentor, [[Socrates]], and his student, [[Aristotle]], Plato helped to lay the foundations of [[Western philosophy]] and [[science]].<ref name="Br">{{cite encyclopedia|title=Plato|encyclopedia=Encyclopaedia Britannica|year=2002}}</ref> In the famous words of [[Alfred North Whitehead|A.N. Whitehead]]:
<blockquote>The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato. I do not mean the systematic scheme of thought which scholars have doubtfully extracted from his writings. I allude to the wealth of general ideas scattered through them.<ref>''Process and Reality'' p. 39</ref></blockquote>
Plato's sophistication as a writer is evident in his [[Socratic dialogues]]; thirty-six dialogues and thirteen letters have been ascribed to him. Plato's writings have been published in several fashions; this has led to several conventions regarding the naming and referencing of Plato's texts.
Plato's dialogues have been used to teach a range of subjects, including [[philosophy]], [[logic]], [[ethics]], [[rhetoric]], and [[mathematics]].
