Plato Answered by EMW - Fri Jun 19 03:28:27 2009 Is an academic philosopher responsible for making himself understandable to non-philosophers and laymen? Q. As a person who recently completed a PhD in philosophy, I have to explain and defend what I study on a regular basis---to friends, family, and sometimes strangers who have no clue what philosophy is. (I sometimes even need to defend my interests to fellow philosophers who do not study in my particular area of philosophy, but that is a different matter.)

Q. I'm writing an essay about why Plato was a great philosopher but I need to write a counter argument, the opposing view of Plato. Can anyone give me any insight into what might have been negative about Plato or his philosophies? Asked by BumbleD - Thu Apr 2 18:08:39 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I think the person who answered this question before me has summarized it nicely. However i would just like to add a few more points. Plato believed that society changes for the worse. And hence he believed that every effort must be made to arrest this change. This follows his theory of forms and ideas. Forms are perfrect unchanging entities in the 'Platonic World'. The entities in our ' real ' world and imperfect copies. He analyzed the history of Greek city states and developed his political philosophy on this belief. This attempt to arrest change in society led him build a model of a totalitarian state and hold it as the model for a perfect state. This is a society of rigid classes led by god like philosopher kings.
